Experience history
Fortress Hohensalzburg is not only a historic landmark, but also offers an exciting experience for families with children: from children’s birthday parties to the children's holiday program. On this page you can find a quick overview of our offers for families. Warning: The access to the castle with strollers is limited!
Children’s audio guide
Children have their own way of learning and exploring. At Hohensalzburg Castle we have therefore developed audio guides that are fully tailored to children’s needs. We currently have children’s audio guides in German, English and Italian. They are available at the information point by the entrance to the inner rooms.
Children’s birthday parties
For a children’s birthday at Hohensalzburg Castle, the birthday boy or girl and their friends meet in the old town, just behind the cathedral. The castle must be defeated before the children can explore the hidden nooks and closed corners of the castle. Once they arrive in the castle courtyard, freshly made bread will be ready for them in the old bakery. You can choose from various day themes for the children's birthday party at Hohensalzburg Castle: Knight tournaments and skill-based games are scheduled in the program so children don’t miss out on the fun. The children can also reenact scenes from old sagas and legends or slip into the costumes of former aristocrats.
