You have to take a funicular from the bottom of the hill. When you get out there are still a lot of steps to climb before you reach the place where they perform the orchestra, there are no elevators.
I want to buy advance tickets to the Hohensalzburg for Dec 8, 2022. I plan to use the Salzburg Card for the discount. Is that possible?
A:
Please check the inclusions in the Salzburg card, the fortress and ride up to it are included if I remember correctly. You won't need to buy tickets. In any case, the queue was not long.
