We came on a rainy day and pretty much had the place to ourselves. I was great. Audiotour you can stop or start when wanted and skip ahead or stay longer in certian rooms. Very beautiful and huge. Another great place included with the Salzburg card. More

Beautiful interiors - a real sense of history. The ballroom was unforgettable. The outside does not do justice to what lies within. More

These are the state apartments of the Prince Archbishops and an audio guide lasts nearly an hour at a leisurely pace. The rooms are not overly furnished but each contains something of note and there are great views to the squares outside. With the Salzburg card it`s free and a must-see. More

The Residenzgalerie preserves interesting rooms. If you are not yet sick of seeing portraits of powerful men in religious garb with a moue of distaste as an expression then you will love this place! It has all that plus astounding architecture. The place is entirely geared to impress people and it still does. Worth a visit! More

The audio guide was very good, the rooms were most interesting. I stood in the very room where Mozart had given a concert! More

The residence was nice to visit, but I would not call it extraordinary considering all the magnificent things to see in Europe. More

Visited using my Salzburg card and well worth the trip. The audio guide, which was included, was wonderful and gave just the right amount of information. The rooms were beautiful and immaculate. There were so many amazing clocks throughout the building. I would recommend a visit to the residence. Didn't care for the gallery though. No need to see that. More

This is a small gallery of Austrian art and artists. Worth a visit, particularly of the state rooms are open. Photo's are allowed, but no flash. good variety of topics and artists. But most of of the realy good items seem to be in the Louve, or in Vienna. More

If you love Baroque then this is your place. The murals on the ceilings are amazing! Even our 10 yr old was in awe especially with the Alexander the Great theme. We went to get out of the rain and thoroughly enjoyed it. The decorative stoves are beautiful/ Most impressive is the little private chapel in/off the bedroom. Decadent use... More
