If you are travelling in the Salzburg - Fortress Hohensalzburg is almost impossible to miss - and you should not miss it.

First things to check
- Get a Salzburg card - just getting to Fortress with funicular cost 11,30e (8,00e with footpath), but with Salzburg card you can do it once for free.
- Normally - I prefer walking and hiking up - but going up with fortress funicular and walking down with footpath is actually good idea, because funicular and footpath are totally opposite locations in the fortress.
- Fortress is large - there is few museums and things to do, if you try check them all, it might take quite many hours, perhaps even full day. Museums are also free with Salzburg card - once.
Landscape views from Hohensalzburg
When you come from Fortress funicular - there is two different landscape view - to old town of Salzburg and to backside view of the Salzburg.

NOTE: Try to not miss the Old town of the Salzburg view from Fortress, if you see backside view of the fortress first, turn back, and try find the Salzburg view.
Entering into inside of Hohensalzburg
After viewing Landscape views - you get into Fortress, which is very interesting, outdoor streets are straight, wide and take you around the fortress.

Walking down from Fortress
Walking down from the Fortress is an interesting experience - walking down is steep and surprisingly long, the gate is strong and when walking down to outside - the fortress wall is just awesome - high and strong looking wall - impossible to capture.
