The green hillside rising above the Neustadt — Kapuzinerberg, with its wooded walking trails, monastery and superb views over the old town and fortress, in a calm, leafy setting just above the centre. Peaceful, scenic and residential, a short walk from the sights; the base for travellers who want nature, quiet and panoramas with the old town minutes away. A tranquil, view-blessed alternative to the bustle below. Restful and green.

- 11.Café culture & Salzburger Nockerl — Salzburg does the grand Austrian café tradition beautifully — settle into an elegant old coffee house like Café Tomaselli (a Mozart-era institution) or Café Sacher for a rich Viennese-style coffee and a slice of cake, or try the local Salzburger Nockerl, a giant, cloud-like sweet soufflé shaped like the surrounding mountains. Don't miss the original Mozartkugel chocolates from Fürst, where they were invented. A delicious, genteel ritual and a sweet slice of the city's culture. A tasty, relaxing highlight; indulge your sweet tooth. Delightful.
- 12.Kapuzinerberg walk — For a green escape and the best free views of the old town, climb the Kapuzinerberg — a wooded hill rising straight from the Neustadt, with shady walking trails, a Capuchin monastery, old fortifications and superb viewpoints looking across the river to the fortress and baroque skyline. A lovely, peaceful walk away from the crowds, ending in panoramas that reward the gentle climb; watch for the resident chamois and the writer Stefan Zweig's former villa. A tranquil, scenic highlight right above the city. A refreshing, view-rich stroll. Lovely and quiet.
