Traveler reviews
Danél Kamstra Smidt
★★★★★7 months agoWonderful experience for the whole family. We got to dress up as lords and ladies, which was alot of fun. Large array of beautiful antique furniture. The art section is very interesting and quite extensive too. Roof terrace has a breathtaking view, and then only the religious section starts. You will need 2hrs atleast and even then you will need to rush to finish.

★★★★★4 weeks agoVery interesting visit! The audio guide was useful and engaging, although it could have spent a little less time describing the ceiling paintings. :D What I liked most was the opportunity to take pictures wearing historical costumes — a really fun addition to the experience. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Salzburg!
