Timeline
15:57
Grab a bite at Fürst. This is the place to buy the original Mozartkugel, invented by confectioner Paul Fürst in 1884. Their exquisite pastries make for a perfect, sweet start before the walk up.
16:12
Walk six minutes west to the Salzburg Museum of Modern Art. Located on the cliff overlooking the old town, this spot offers a high vantage point. Find a quiet corner or step outside if the weather permits to get your bearings.
16:42
Watch the golden light begin at 15:51. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow over the rooftops and the Salzach river below. Stay here to let the light shift from gold to the deep blue of twilight.
17:27
End your evening with a relaxed snack at Salzburger Würstelkönigin. Just a short walk away, this food truck serves gorgeous hotdogs and the amazing grilled meat sandwich with Century Sauce. It is a great spot to chill by the river as the city lights come on.
Local tip
The museum is open until 17:00 on weekdays, so you have plenty of time before the golden hour starts. If you prefer a hot drink instead of a pastry, Tomaselli is a traditional Viennese coffee house just four minutes from the anchor, open until 19:00.
