Let's start our romantic journey from Salzburg's most iconic vantage point - the Hohensalzburg Fortress. This majestic fortress, which has towered over the city for more than 900 years, offers unparalleled views of the entire city and the surrounding Alps. Couples can take a walk along the fortress walls or use the convenient train to reach the top. Hohensalzburg Fortress (slug: fortress-hohensalzburg-c06c3ef802) is not only a viewpoint, but also a fascinating history lesson. With a 4.6-star rating, the site delights tourists at any time of the year. It's worth planning a visit early in the morning or just before sunset to avoid the crowds and enjoy the romantic atmosphere.

However, this is not the end of Salzburg's high attractions. The Mönchsberg hill, which has several viewpoints, is a real paradise for couples looking for tranquility and beautiful panoramas. Let's start with Viewpoint (slug: viewpoint-bcb731723d), which, with a 4.9-star rating, is one of the highest-rated sites in the city. Tourists are delighted not only by the view of the castle and the old city, but also by the tranquility and presence of nature. It's the perfect place for a romantic picnic or quiet conversation away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Continuing our walk around Mönchsberg, we will arrive at Viewpoint of Old Town (slug: viewpoint-of-old-town-f56804ade6), also rated 4.9 stars. This spot offers a slightly different perspective, focusing on the Old Town skyline. Many couples appreciate the opportunity to see 'all the beauty of this charming city, with the Cathedral and Fortress' in one glance. Note that the road to the top can be a bit steep, but the views fully compensate for the effort.

For those looking for an even more intimate spot, we recommend Richterhöhe (slug: richterhohe-b7483af06a). This viewpoint, rated 4.7 stars, offers not only beautiful views of the Alps and the castle, but also a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for couples looking for a moment just for themselves. 'Sunday sunny afternoon, the crowds were not there. We sat on a bench enjoying the view of the mountains and 'catching' the September sunshine," is how one satisfied guest describes the place.

Each of these places has its own unique character and offers a slightly different perspective on Salzburg. Hohensalzburg Fortress is a must-see for any visitor to the city, but requires more time to explore and can be crowded. On the other hand, the viewpoints on the Mönchsberg are more intimate and allow for a more peaceful enjoyment of the views. When choosing a route, it's worth considering your own preferences - whether you prefer active sightseeing or rather to sit quietly and enjoy the panorama. Regardless of your choice, each of these places guarantees unforgettable experiences and romantic moments for two.

Continuing our romantic journey through Salzburg, we move to the other side of the Salzach River, where more breathtaking views await. Let's start with the Aussicht Kapuzinerberg Nord (slug: aussicht-kapuzinerberg-nord-4ce8756d0f), a viewpoint rated 4.7 stars. This spot offers a completely different perspective on the city than previously visited locations. From here you can enjoy a panoramic view of the old city with its distinctive towers and church domes, all against the backdrop of the majestic Alps.

Kapuzinerberg is the perfect place for couples who like to combine physical activity with romantic moments. The climbing can be a bit challenging, but as tourists note: 'Climbing is difficult, but it's worth it! It's a great opportunity to support each other and reach the goal together, which is a stunning view of the city. We especially recommend this place for sunset - the golden rays illuminating Salzburg's baroque architecture create an unforgettable setting for romantic moments.

Nearby is another viewpoint - View to Fortress Hohensalzburg (slug: view-to-fortress-hohensalzburg-23e53ac3bd), rated 4.6 stars. This place offers a unique perspective on the famous fortress, which we previously viewed from the inside. Here you can take a break from your walk and 'sit on a bench enjoying the view of the castle. This is the perfect place to take a romantic break and take souvenir photos.

For couples looking for a slightly more secluded spot, we recommend walking along Stefan Zweig Street, which leads to the viewpoint. As one tourist notes: 'I love this place...with the Stefan Zweig Street and the view of Salzburg. It reminds me a bit of the steps of Montmartre'. This comparison to romantic Paris adds further charm to the place.

It is worth noting that the viewpoints on the Kapuzinerberg offer a slightly different atmosphere than those on the Mönchsberg. They are less crowded and allow for a more intimate experience. At the same time, the road to the summit can be more challenging, which is worth taking into account when planning your route.

Comparing the sites, you'll find that Aussicht Kapuzinerberg Nord offers a wider panorama of the city, while View to Fortress Hohensalzburg focuses more on the fortress itself. The choice between the two depends on whether you prefer to admire the entire city or focus on its most characteristic element.

Regardless of your choice, each of these places guarantees unforgettable views and a romantic atmosphere. These are ideal locations for a proposal, a relationship anniversary or simply to spend special moments for two away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Remember to bring your camera - the views from here certainly deserve to be immortalized!

At the end of our romantic journey in Salzburg, we suggest visiting places that combine the beauty of nature with the charm of architecture. Let's start with the Mirabellgarten (slug: mirabellgarten-fd82f1d292), rated 4.7 stars. These Baroque gardens are a true oasis of tranquility in the heart of the city. Designed for princely strolls, today they offer a romantic setting for couples in love.

Mirabellgarten is not only about beautiful views, but also a rich history. As one tourist notes: 'It's usually the first place you see when visiting Salzburg. Mirabell Palace and its surrounding gardens were founded in 1606 by Archbishop Prince Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau for the daughter of a Salzburg merchant, Salome Alt'. This romantic story of the garden's origins adds further charm to the place. Today, the palace serves as a registry office, and the gardens are a popular venue for wedding sessions. For couples planning a future together, this place can be inspiring and full of symbolism.

The Mirabell Gardens offer not only beautiful views, but also a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for romantic strolls. You can admire the carefully trimmed hedges, colorful flower beds and impressive sculptures. It's a great place for a picnic or just to relax for a while surrounded by natural and architectural beauty.

For couples looking for lesser-known but equally charming places, we recommend visiting Humboldtterrasse Klausentor (unfortunately, it's not on our POI list, but it's worth a mention). This less crowded spot offers great views of the old town and Kapuzinerberg. As one tourist notes: 'This is probably the best view of the city you'll see! However, it's very difficult to get here.' This difficulty of access makes the place less crowded and more intimate - ideal for couples looking for peace and quiet.

Finally, the viewpoint at the Museum der Moderne (Aussichtspunkt des Museums der Moderne - also missing from the POI list) is worth mentioning. This place, rated 4.9 stars, offers not only great views during the day, but also the opportunity to admire the city at night. As one tourist notes: 'the best view of the city. if you don't want to make the 30-minute hike uphill, pay 4 euros to use the elevator at the museum of modern art. it closes at 11pm, so you can also use this place to see the city at night.' It's the perfect place to end the day romantically.

Comparing these places, the Mirabellgarten offers the most orderly and 'classically romantic' setting, perfect for a quiet stroll and admiring the garden art. Humboldtterrasse and the vantage point at the Museum der Moderne, on the other hand, offer wider panoramas of the city, ideal for couples who like to enjoy the urban landscape.

Each of these places has its own unique character and offers a different kind of romantic experience. The Mirabellgarten is the perfect place for a leisurely stroll and relaxation, while the vantage points offer more 'dramatic' views and the opportunity to enjoy the city skyline. The choice depends on the couple's preference - whether you prefer peaceful gardens or breathtaking panoramas.

Regardless of your choice, each of these places guarantees unforgettable moments and a romantic atmosphere. Salzburg, with its rich history, beautiful architecture and picturesque location, is the perfect place for a romantic weekend. We hope our suggestions will help you create your own unique itinerary full of love and beautiful views.
