The Melbie
★★★★★6 months agoDedicated statue to reknowned child prodigy musician born in 1756 in Salzsburg. Little wonder that the platz is named after him as are the delicious chocolates! Go for the more pricey blue & silver handmade chocs - dark chocolate decadence! The ice skating rink runs till end of January - do check online to be sure. Seasonal Chriskindlmarkt at time of my visit at the adjoining Residentplatz was one of the better ones - smaller with more variety. Old city of Salzburg has loads of heritage allure with hidden alleyways & squares full of local crafts, eateries & museums.

★★★★★2 months agoMozart may no longer be with us, but his spirit still lives in Salzburg. When I walk through Mozartplatz, it feels as if his music echoes through every street. The square is full of life, with happy people enjoying the beautiful atmosphere. The blend of historic architecture and modern city life makes this place truly special. A wonderful place to relax, admire the surroundings, and experience the heart of Salzburg.
