"Visited Festung Hohensalzburg"
More fortress style than castle style. You can take a tour, but there aren't any fancy furnishings. The view from the top is great!

More information on Festung Hohensalzburg
If your visit to Salzburg doesn't happen to coincide with any of the city's annual music festivals, you can always attend the concerts that are presented within the Hohensalzburg Fortress. Here, in historic and dramatic settings, you're likely to hear heavy doses of Mozart and, to a lesser degree, works by Schubert, Brahms, and Beethoven. From mid-May to mid-October, performances are likely to be held at 8 or 8:30pm every night of the week. The rest of the year, they're presented most (but not all) nights, with occasional weeklong breaks, usually at 7:30pm. Tickets cost 31€ to 38€ ($40-$49). The box office for the events is at Adlgasser Weg 22 (tel. 0662/825858). Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
