A Little History
The story first.
The Mönchsberg is the wooded cliff that rises straight from the old town; its terraces and paths — reached by a lift from the streets below — give the definitive elevated view across Salzburg's domes to the fortress opposite.
Why It's Romantic
The atmosphere you're proposing into.
A quiet terrace above the rooftops, the cathedral and churches spread below, the fortress facing you across the town and the Alps behind — panoramic and peaceful.
