City Walk on a bike: Instagrammable Salzburg

Salzburg is full of picturesque places – this bike tour takes you to the best photo spots outside the city center and combines exercise in the fresh air with unforgettable views. This is a great way to experience nature, sport, and breathtaking views of the old town.

Salzburg's most photogenic cycle tour

The route runs mostly along the Salzach River and allows visitors to the city of Mozart to explore hidden corners and feel like a local. To the north is the Maria Plain pilgrimage church, offering a spectacular view over Salzburg and the surrounding mountains. Back in the old town and continuing south, you will be rewarded time and again with new perspectives of Hohensalzburg Fortress. Another highlight is Hellbrunn palace, whose extensive grounds and charming hidden corners provide perfect photo opportunities. The final section, stretching along the Almkanal and leading to the romantic Leopoldskron Palace, allows you to completely escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Surrounded by nature, this is the ideal place to end your tour – and capture your final perfect photo.

No bike with you? No problem – just hire one! For example, at A-Velo near the State Bridge, and set off directly to your first stop along the Salzach.
