Are you looking for a destination to spend some time off with your significant other? Then Salzburg would be the perfect place to choose for your trip. A beautiful city in the heart of Europe where you will enjoy the beauty of nature with snow-covered mountains and the famous silhouette of the churches and the fortress. The medieval alleys and the charming squares of the Old Town are the ideal settings for a dreamy walk.

If you are a newlywed and decided to spend your honeymoon in Salzburg, then there are many romantic activities to be done. You can take a stroll around the Mirabell Gardens, ride in a carriage on the ground of Hellbrunn Palace, do a tête-à-tête on the panoramic terrace of Hohensalzburg Fortress, experience the traditional coffeehouses, or a nighttime walk through the historic Old Town. Salzburg is one of the few places where all lovers’ wishes would come true. Numerous tokens of these beautiful times may be discovered on Feingold-Steg, where tens of thousands of love locks attest to all the couples that have visited before. And if, after a few days in the city, you feel drawn out into nature, you may also find a plethora of picture-perfect retreats and romantic hotels in the Salzburg Lake District, the Salzkammergut, and higher up in the mountains for a fantastic time in the countryside.

The Way to Your Heart

Visitors are mesmerized by Salzburg's variety of coffee shops and pastries. The first café in Austria was Café Tomaselli (1705), while Paul Fürst created the renowned Mozartkugel at Café Fürst in 1890. It is difficult to decide between apple strudel, a fluffy pancake called Kaiserschmarrn, the always-favorite Guglhupf, or Sacher chocolate cake. A wonderfully fluffy soufflé known as a Salzburger Nockerl, prepared to order, and served hot out of the oven, is a regional specialty. The ideal dessert for a romantic dinner for two consists of three feather-light mounds of golden soufflé that have been coated with confectioners' sugar.
