Some of the major highlights of Fortress Hohensalzburg are the magnificent Princes' Rooms, the Magic Theater on the High Level, the Great Armory in the castle courtyard, the various museums (like the marionette museum, the tower and the historical museum) were all very interesting and detailed. Go up for the breathtaking views over the rooftops of the city. It was really interesting to learn how this fortress had evolved over a period of almost 500 years.

The view from the Observation Tower is spectacular, an alp or two is always good eye candy. We spend about 2 hours wandering around, through the museum and courtyard. Look through every window you find and you can see why this Fortress was impenetrable. Also have a go with the bells on way out and if you have time come back to the bell area at 11.00am to hear the original mechanism working. A final drink and snack in the restaurant will afford those great views once more. We arrived early with few people around. Yes there are a lot of steps but they are well designed and shallow. The way down from the tower is separate to the way up so you don't get blockages. The rest rooms are fantastic just at the end of the Museum.

It's open daily from 9 am to 5:30 pm. The latest admission is 30 minutes before closing time. Touring the museum is said to take about an hour, but I ran through it in about 25 minutes There is a text guide you can read on your mobile phone using a QR code. A tip: this museum is FREE if you have the Salzburg card. I got a 2 day card and I found it to be a great value, especially if you want to see the castle, use the bus, and even just see two other museums. You can buy it online as well.

At the time the feature exhibit was "what role did the Salzburg museum play during the Nazi regime" It was quite a eye-opener. An interesting perspective for sure. It is a great place to go in the middle of the city. Not just for rainy days
