Discover an elegant, relaxed side of Salzburg around Mirabell Gardens, Linzergasse, local cafés and the green slopes of Kapuzinerberg.
Central enough for sightseeing with a more relaxed local atmosphere.
One of Salzburg’s most elegant and recognizable public spaces.
Enough for gardens, Linzergasse, cafés and a short hill walk.
Andräviertel sits just across the Salzach from Salzburg’s historic centre. It combines some of the city’s best-known places, including Mirabell Gardens, with streets that feel noticeably more residential and local.
This is a good neighborhood when you want to stay close to the major sights without spending the entire day in the busiest parts of the Altstadt. Cafés, elegant historic buildings and easy access to Kapuzinerberg give the area a balanced mix of culture and everyday city life.
Combine one major landmark with local streets, green spaces and a little time away from the busiest tourist routes.
01
Mirabell Gardens bring formal landscaping, fountains and one of Salzburg’s classic fortress views together in a compact setting. They are an easy starting point for exploring this side of the river.

02
Linzergasse offers historic façades, cafés and independent shops without feeling quite as intense as Getreidegasse. It works especially well as the link between central Salzburg and Kapuzinerberg.
03
St. Sebastian offers a quieter historical stop close to Linzergasse. The cemetery, arcades and church create a calm contrast to Salzburg’s grander monumental spaces.
04
Kapuzinerberg adds nature and elevation without requiring a day trip from the city. Even a shorter walk can give you quieter paths and attractive views across Salzburg toward the fortress and mountains.
05
One of the strengths of Andräviertel is that it works well without constant sightseeing. Build in time for coffee, breakfast or a slower lunch and let the neighborhood itself become part of the trip.
06
Andräviertel works particularly well because Salzburg’s historic centre remains only a short river crossing away. Use the riverfront as the natural transition between local streets and the city’s most famous landmarks.
You can see the main places quickly, but the neighborhood feels better when you balance sights with cafés, walking and one green escape.
Combine Mirabell Gardens, Linzergasse and an easy walk into the Altstadt.
Spend longer around the side streets, cafés and quieter parts beyond the main sights.
Prioritise Kapuzinerberg and combine it with Linzergasse on the way back down.
Keep Mirabell as the main stop and cross the Salzach when you are ready for the Altstadt.
