Enjoy sightseeing in Salzburg
Getreidegasse Salzburg
The Getreidegasse is one of the most famous and popular shopping streets in Mozart’s hometown and is home to various specialist shops and boutiques. With several restaurants and coffee shops as well, there is plenty of opportunity for relaxing and taking a break along the way.
No matter what you are looking for, you will find it whilst shopping in the Getreidegasse! The 500 metre long Getreidegasse has various shops and boutiques where you’ll find the national costume ‘Tracht’, leather, jewellery, the latest fashions, antiques, perfumes all located within steps of little restaurants, traditional inns and take-away venues. The cultural highlight of the Getreidegasse is the house at Nr.9 – Mozart’s birthplace.
Salzburg: historic streets and beautiful courtyards
The beautiful house veneers and the historical wrought iron store signs in the Getreidegasse make shopping in Salzburg a cultural highlight. The Salzburg ‘Staatsbrücke’ bridge links the Getreidegasse with the Linzergasse – another popular shopping street with well-known brand shops.
Shops in the courtyards
Because the Getreidegasse has the Salzburg River as a boundary, there have always been attachments to the houses in the opposite direction. This has created a lot of interesting alleyways and courtyards between the old and the new buildings where you can find various shops, boutiques and traditional restaurants, some with outside seating.
Cultural treasures as well as shops in Salzburg
On the fronts of some of the buildings, especially in the alleyways and courtyards in between the bigger streets, you will find historic reliefs, vaults and engraved house signs. Most importantly you will find Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s birthplace, which serves as a museum today.
Souvenir-shopping
If you want to buy a traditional ‘Dirndl’ for yourself or souvenirs for your friends and family at home you will definitely find the perfect national costume and numerous presents in the Getreidegasse.
