Café Tomaselli
At the Alter Markt in the middle of Salzburg lies Café Tomaselli, probably one of the most famous cafés in the world. Family-owned for centuries, it exudes stylish Austrian coffeehouse culture for all the senses.
Café Tomaselli in the heart of Salzburg's Old Town is one of the most renowned European coffee houses. No other traditional café in Austria can look back on such a long history. Still family-owned today, it is a stylish representation of more than 300 years of Austrian coffee house tradition. Magnificent wood panelling with inlays adorns the walls and takes guests back in time, as do the marble tables, silver trays, waiters in dinner jackets and the cake ladies.
Old-established Salzburg families, business people, students, artists and tourists meet here, as well as actors, opera stars and international festival celebrities during the festival season. Even in the old days, celebrities such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Max Reinhardt and Herbert von Karajan frequented the Tomaselli.
