About
Reaching the majestic Hohensalzburg Fortress without indulging in the delights of pedestrian routes is possible via the famous Salzburg funicular, connecting the city with a completely different world beyond the high walls of the ancient fort. The funicular, whose name originates from the local Festung mountain, is considered one of the oldest in all of Austria. You can enjoy a breezy ride and take in the sights and beauties of Salzburg on this marvel of technology for just 9.8 euros, and this price includes the fortress visit itself. Every year, thousands of tourists from around the world use this quick and impressive "delivery" service to Hohensalzburg due to its popularity, which is attributed not only to the low cost but also to the beauties that reveal themselves only during the brief journey up high.

Very easy way to get up :)

Well organized and entertaining opportunity to get to the top.

Поднимались с детьми в замок. Была большая очередь, я решила купить билеты по предоставленному QR-Code. Но очередь двигалась настолько быстро, что не было смысла заморачиваться с оплатой через интернет. Никаких задержек. Дети были впечатлены этой короткой поездкой и открывающимися видами. Все отлично организовано!
