Day by day

Day 1: Arrival in Salzburg. Hohensalzburg Fortress towers above the old town, visible even from the station platform. Allow yourself only a first look today and a walk below the walls. Children sense at once that a knights' storybook is coming to life here. The paths are cobbled, but bumpy with a pushchair. A quiet evening is enough for the arrival.

Day 2: Mirabell Palace. Mirabell Palace with its gardens lies just across the Salzach, flat and very easy to reach. Children love the dwarfs in the Dwarf Garden and the hedge theatre. In the afternoon you visit Mozart's birthplace in the Getreidegasse. It is narrow and crowded, so short visits help. A bench in the park afterwards relaxes everyone.

Day 3: Hellbrunn Palace. Hellbrunn is the day for water lovers. The garden with its trick fountains surprises adults and children with sudden jets, so keep dry spare clothes ready. The Folklore Museum next door is short and illustrative. Back in the city, Mirabell awaits once more, this time for a picnic on the lawn in front of the flower beds.

Day 4: Mozartplatz. At the Haus der Natur, learning feels hands-on: aquarium, reptiles and experiments invite you to touch. The museum is independent of the weather and therefore good for a rainy day. Afterwards you walk to Mozartplatz, where the composer's statue stands. The cafés all around have seating where children can calm down over a hot chocolate.

Day 5: Salzburg Zoo Hellbrunn. Salzburg Zoo on the edge of Hellbrunn shows animals from five continents in a mountain landscape. The paths are partly steep, but benches and shady corners appear often. Pack water and plan lunch at the zoo. Children often remember monkeys and lions for longer than any church.

Day 6: Salzburg Cathedral. Salzburg Cathedral with its twin towers lies in the middle of the old town and fits well into a short morning. In the afternoon you drive to the open-air museum near Grossgmain. There are old farmhouses, animals and a museum railway. Children may run about, and you relax on wide meadows.

Day 7: Farewell to Salzburg. For the farewell, the FestungsBahn, a historic funicular, rolls up to the fortress. Children love the short ride up the steep slope. Up top a tour of the courtyard and the view over the rooftops are enough. If you are leaving, leave your luggage below and enjoy the old town lanes down to the Salzach once more.
