It was simply AMAZING. We happened into the Cathedral during the Christmas Market. It was a $5 entry fee. As we entered we could hear opera singing. We were fortunate to hear the practice of the choir and symphony preparation for the Christmas Concert. The Cathedral is absolutely gorgeous!! The acoustics fabulous. I was thrilled to sit under the glorious dome and just take in all of the amazing architecture and carvings. It was the most gorgeous church of my travels in Germany and Austria. Gorgeous!

This was one of the first Italian Baroque buildings north of the alps built in the early 17th century on the back of enormous revenues generated from salt production placed in the hands of a privileged few. Internally the decoration is immaculate and the artistic workmanship in the displayed paintings is undeniable but despite its scale and majesty, somehow the building feels strangely unwelcoming and cold. It is almost too big and grand for a religious building. The interior had no lights on adding to the sombre mood. The nebulous entry rules don’t help either. Technically it is free but every conceivable ruse is used to persuade visitors that entry is subject to a €5 payment removing the option of voluntary donations. We found St Peters Abbey which is more modest in scale but much more charming to be a more enjoyable visit.

The Salzburger Dom is a seventeenth century cathedral located in the heart of the Old Town. The first church on this site was erected in the eighth century. The Cathedral still contains the baptismal font in which Mozart was baptised. The nearby Alte Residenz, is connected to the church. The Cathedral was damaged in October 1944 when a USAAF bomb crashed through the central dome over the crossing. By 1959 restoration was completed. Fortunately in WW2 much of Salzburg Baroque architecture remained intact. Visiting the Mozartwoche 2023 we went to the Holy Mass in the Salzburger Dom. The church is beautiful. This time we heard Mozart’s Credomesse KV257, composed in 1776. It is a Missa Brevis et Solemnis scored for SATB soloists, choir, violins, oboes, clarinet, trumpets and basso continuo. The Dom Choir & Orchestra was directed by Andrea Fournier. Note that a Mozart Missa in a church during a Holy Mass is totally different from listening to a Missa Brevis on CD or a hearing a performance in a concert hall. In the Salzburger Dom you can hear and feel what Mozart meant. Recommended.

Located at the Residenzplatz, a majestic heritage of Saltzburg that one can't miss when visiting the Residenzplatz. Filled with history and well kept facade a pleasant and worthwhile visit here. Get ready for pboto shooting with wide angle lens. Cheers.

Visited the Cathedral during a Sunday morning service. We were asked to go back after the service. Later while I waited I noticed people saying they were going in to pray. They were let in also without paying the small 5 euros! So I told the guard that I had been waiting with my scooter in a snowing very cold day and that I just wanted to attend for prayer. So I was let in and later my son paid and he entered. Very easy to get around with my scooter and lots of beautiful things to see. We were there enjoying the beauty for over an hour. One of the first white Roman Baroque Cathedrals I had seen. Also there is a downstairs near the Alter with tombs! Go down the stairs

We visited Salzburg for a day just to explore the city. We took the train from Vienna to Salzburg. The cathedral is one of the most beautiful and well preserved architecture that I have seen in Europe. Dor me its as beautiful as the Aachen Cathedral This place is a must see to all who visit the beautiful city of Salzburg.

Salzburg Cathedral is located in the center of the town square. It is a magnificent building that is spacious and stately decorated both with artwork including imposing paintings, and altars. Should one be looking to attend Mass, the experience is quite uplifting not only because of the great art but also because of the impressive music. It is not surprising that this cathedral, as well as other churches in the area also offer concerts. It is well worth the visit.

We really saved the best for last in Salzburg. On our last afternoon, we sat for an organ concert at Salzburg Cathedral. Regular concerts take place throughout the year and also during the Advent season. This experience was without a doubt a highlight and soul-moving way to end our time in Salzburg.

We wanted to pay by card, contactless,so less hassle and exchange of bugs on coins. What we got was a hard sell from the male cashier who berated us on the fact everyone in business in the area were going for cash only so that the authorities....govt or financial couldn't track us!!!! Ummmm,were tourists not spies! Eventually,we paid by card and enjoyed the cathedral. Very ornate and worthwhile the visit.

This is a beautiful building nestled downtown among all the attractions in town. The cathedral often features classical music concerts in the summer, some of which are free, and good to take advantage of. Take a trip down to the crypt for an understanding of Salzburg's past.
