If you enjoy exploring opulent palaces in every new country you visit, you shouldn’t miss Australia for the world. Each major city in this country is home to quite a few palaces including Salzburg, and here are three that will win you over with their rich history and architectural beauty.

Schloss Hellbrunn

This Renaissance palace has been around since the 17th century and it’s equally beautiful inside and out. If it doesn’t win you over with its gardens and novelty fountains, step inside to discover its stunning interior, but don’t expect to find any bathrooms since it only served as a day residence.

Mirabell Palace

Another breathtaking 17th-century palace, Mirabell is one of the top attractions of Salzburg’s historic center. You’ll be wowed by it as soon as you step into its beautifully landscaped gardens, but the real magic starts once you discover Marble Hall—an ornate ballroom and concert hall which hosts the Salzburg Palace Concerts.

Fortress Hohensalzburg

If you want to take a break from Renaissance palaces and visit Salzburg’s top medieval landmark, Fortress Hohensalzburg is just the place for you. After exploring the fortress, you’ll get to enjoy some of the views of the entire city from its hilltop location, stretching all the way to the Alps.
