3 December 2020
To discover the hidden beauty of the city of Salzburg, a few days are often enough to make you jam. Here are a few tips that you should not miss on their short vacation.
Sleep like king and queen at Hotel Schloss Mönchstein
The Mönchsberg with its Mönchstein Castle stretches above the centre of Salzburg and offers a brilliant panoramic view of the city. The unique location of the 5-star hotel also impresses with large green areas, an infinity pool in the outdoor area and a whirlpool, where you can get your mind off things. The rooms and suites impress with their exclusivity and leave nothing to be desired. Priceless antiques and real marble bathrooms surround the luxury stay.
Stroll through the old town
If you take a leisurely stroll through the historic old town, then also let yourself drift through the fascinating Getreidegasse. Genuine traditional craftsmanship meets pure luxury and in the midst of it you will also find the house where Mozart was born. Marvel at the historic buildings that invite you in with their guild signs or give yourself a present in one of the numerous posh boutiques such as Prada, Hermés or with a piece of jewellery from the luxurious jewellers.
Look forward to a private horse-drawn sleigh ride through the Salzburg mountains
Especially in the winter months, the city of Salzburg can't be beat for romance and contemplation. Complete this feeling with a private and exclusive sleigh ride with just you and your loved ones. The journey begins with a comfortable pick-up directly in front of your hotel in downtown Salzburg. From there, it's a relaxed drive to the mountainous Flachgau region, where a traditional horse-drawn sleigh is already waiting for you. Then you're ready for a ride you'll definitely never forget. Make yourself comfortable under a warm blanket and listen to the crunching snow and the sounds of the sleigh bells. Admire a view made up of snow-covered forests, glistening lakes and glowing villages.
Try your luck at the famous Casino Salzburg
From one castle to the next. Round off your luxurious short break in Salzburg with a visit to the casino. In the magnificent rooms of the baroque Klessheim Palace, an extensive gambling offer, unique architecture and a culinary program of delights await you. Already the approach will amaze you, because in the midst of a beautiful park with a magnificent triton fountain you will walk under outside pedestals decorated with deer into the interior of the castle. And who knows, maybe you'll hit the jackpot or two.
Enjoy a culinary feast in a class of its own at the Ikarus in Hangar 7
Admittedly, many people probably associate an aircraft hangar with anything but luxury. However, Hangar 7 in Salzburg manages to combine aesthetics and the finest architecture and provides a fitting home for historic flight exhibits and Formula 1 sleds. One thing makes this place incomparable to the rest of the world: in the middle of the hangar is probably the most spectacular 3-hood restaurant you've ever seen. What makes it special is the concept of guest chefs that change monthly. Top chefs from all over the world seduce the guests of the Ikarus with their extraordinary philosophy and dive with them into the world of haute cuisine.
