A street that has known how to do city life since Roman times. Formerly the access route into the city and the most important road to Linz and the eastern Habsburg Empire, today it is an urban neighborhood where Salzburg originals, coffee house fans, shopping queens, culture explorers, and night owls meet. Completely without hustle and bustle – but with plenty of life.
The Linzergasse is like a small kaleidoscope: the atmosphere changes with every step. Sometimes boutiques with cool clothes, trendy shoe shops, sometimes small traditional shops that have been around “forever” – such as the legendary jeweler or the long-established hosiery shop, sometimes concept stores that look as if they were imported directly from Copenhagen.

Linzergasse Salzburg – the laid-back sister of the Getreidegasse.
Coffee, cake, calories...
For some, the Linzergasse is the place to grab a quick croissant from the bakery, for others it's the perfect breakfast spot. From hand-roasted espresso to vegan banana bread – there's something for everyone here.
And if you'd rather just browse? That's fine too. The shop windows tell their own stories: about Salzburg craftsmanship, regional specialties, design, fashion, antiques, music, and little treasures that you don't really need – but end up buying anyway.
Fancy a trip back in time?
In Roman times, the Linzer Gasse has been the main thoroughfare of the right side of the old town and, as a vibrant shopping street, has attracted famous personalities. The famous physician Paracelsus lived at No. 3, the poet Georg Trakl at No. 7, and the great opera singer Richard Mayr at No. 9.

Cult Highlights:
Street food to go, cozy inns, nightclubs, bars, pubs, ice cream parlors for hot days, candy stores for childhood flashbacks – the Linzergasse can satisfy hunger, thirst, desire, and mood.
And if you're looking for culture, you're never far away: the sights of the city center are just a few steps away, and from Linzergasse, an imposing gate and staircase leads up an old crossroads to the Kapuzinerberg and the monastery. Also worth seeing is the Sebastian Cemetery with the magnificent mausoleum of Archbishop Wolf Dietrich.
Last but not least: Bergstraße.
If you like it a little steeper but all the more charming, turn onto the Bergstraße. A neighborhood for explorers.
Cobblestones. Stairs. Facades that tell stories. And right in the middle of it all: the Alchimiste Belge beer bar, known for its rich selection of hoppy beverages from around the world. But it's not just the alchemists who create the atmosphere: small bars, hip pubs, cool jewelry stores, galleries, hidden spots – the Bergstraße is its own little parallel universe. Somewhere between old town charm, student life, and boho vibes.

For history fans:
Even though it's young and creative here today, the alley was once an important link to the Kapuzinerberg and home to craftsmen, grocers, and great personalities such as Hugo Wolf and Eduard Paul Tratz, founder of the “Haus der Natur” (House of Nature).
Conclusion:
The Linzergasse and the Bergstraße can be quiet, but also really lively. Full of possibilities, without you having to do anything.
Linzergasse? Bergstraße? They make it easy – both of them!
