Golden Roof, built in 1500.
The Golden Roof actually is the three-story balcony on the central plaza at the heart of the Old Town. It was constructed for Emperor Maximilian I to serve as a royal box where he could sit in state and enjoy tournaments in the square below.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Birthplace.

The hard pretzel-E2
Considered by some to be the most perfect Renaissance building in the German-speaking countries, Salzburg Cathedral has a marble facade, twin west towers topped with green domes and a large green-roofed dome over the crossing. The bronze doors (1959) illustrate the themes of Faith, Hope, and Love.
The church's simple sepia-and-white interior, a peaceful contrast to the usual Baroque excesses, dates from a later renovation. It is decorated with elaborate Baroque murals, some of which were designed (along with the altarpieces) by Mascagni of Florence. The dome was damaged during World War II but was restored by 1959.
Near the entrance, look for the Romanesque font at which Mozart was baptized. The great composer later served as organist here from 1779 to 1781. Some of his compositions, such as the Coronation Mass, were written for the cathedral, and many were performed here for the first time. The font is made of bronze and decorated with reliefs of saints.

Salzburger Nockerl- E10.50
It is said that the Salzburger Nockerl were invented by Salome Alt, the concubine of Salzburg′s Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raintenau in the early 17th century. They are supposed to represent the hillsides surrounding the city of Salzburg: the Gaisberg, Moenchsberg and Nonnberg. The dusting of powdered sugar resembles the snow-covered peaks.
