"The stony facade is forbidding... but all the butch posturing is offset by the unexpected opulence of the state rooms and the ethereal views."
Frommer's
"Visit Hohensalzburg, even if you're not interested in the fortress, for the view from the terrace. From the Reck watchtower, you get a panoramic sweep of the Alps."

"This, von Erlach's greatest and largest Salzburg church, is one of the most celebrated baroque churches in all of Austria (and that's saying a lot). Altar paintings are by Rottmayr."
