Salzburg's Old Town is the pride of Austria for good reason. Its UNESCO-listed winding, cobbled, medieval streets and buzzing market squares, all framed by looming mountains, gives it the feel of a fairytale town. You'll be wowed by the baroque architecture on the banks of the river and the baby-sized violin played by a (very) young Mozart in the museum, the iron guild signs hanging from the busy shopping streets, and one of the oldest cemeteries in the world at the foot of a rocky mountain. Naturally, all the best hotels in Salzburg's Old Town are set in medieval buildings. Some of them are chic design-led boltholes, others are romantic getaways. We have also tracked down a special hotel, run by an order of Benedictine monks — not to be missed!
Couples love Hotel Goldgasse, a small luxury hotel which is set in a 14th-century townhouse in the historic centre.

Townhouse Weisses Kreuz is a timeless place, a beautifully restored 16th century townhouse imbued with elegance and sophistication.
