Ausgehend vom Schloss, wo auch Holzdecks zum Verweilen einladen, alte Mauern und versteckte Plätze rund um das Linzer Schloss. Eine Statue von Johannes Kepler steht dort oben auch! Auch ein Spielplatz für die Kinder gibt's dort oben. My favourite spot in Linz - great view to the north-part of Linz - Urfahr and the Pöstlingberg! A very nice park with places to rest and view to the danube. In the castle itself you find also wooden decks to relax and hided places between the old walls and on the walls! Find also a statue of Johannes Kepler there and a playground for children!

The garden of dwarf statues was quieter and I wondered if visitors knew they had to cross a bridge (near the Pegasus Fountain) to gain access. The Mirabell Palace was somewhat open as we could really only climb the Angel Staircase but couldn't enter the hall where Mozart played or really anywhere else unfortunately. Still worth seeing.

The Sattler Panorama painting inside was a 360 degree view of Salzburg from the early 1800s. Make sure to also view the interactive terminals to do a side by side comparison between the panorama of now and the . Admission was included as part of the Salzburg Card.

Famous for the filming of the Sound of Music, these gardens are beautiful. Definitely a must stop when in Salzburg. I was here in November and they were so well maintained.

Gorgeous park. Very well kept. There are different areas for different tastes.read more
