SAMPLE

Why Salzburg Works When You Travel Alone

The Altstadt (Old Town) covers roughly one square kilometer on the river’s west bank and the Neustadt (New Town) about as much on the east bank, and most of what draws visitors sits within a thirty-minute walk. The city grew around the prince-archbishops’ court and the salt trade, both tied to the river and the fortified hilltop. The river runs north-south, and the two hills on either side of it, the Mönchsberg to the west and the Kapuzinerberg to the east, keep you oriented: take a wrong turn and you soon reach a landmark you recognize, either a hill, the river or the fortress above them.

PRACTICAL SAMPLE

Where Eating Alone Is Easy

Zwettler’s (Kaigasse 3): A working Salzburg beer pub, with Stiegl on tap and hearty plates such as Tafelspitz. There is counter seating.

Bistro de Márquez (Schrannengasse 6): A compact Colombian and Latin American bistro near Mirabellplatz, with arepas and other South American dishes, vegetarian-friendly food, vegan options and gluten-free choices. Seating is limited, with a few tables indoors and some outside. Bring cash, as cards are not taken. It is open Wednesday to Saturday and closed Sunday to Tuesday, so check its current hours. Mid-priced.

Lazarte (Wolf-Dietrich-Straße 6): A Peruvian restaurant serving ceviche, lomo saltado and other specialties, for dining in or takeaway. It is open evenings from Wednesday, with weekend service, and closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Tables can be reserved online. Mid-priced.
