Very beautiful church. Dim inside. Admission is free but when leaving you a kinda expected to give a donation to a church volunteer. The detailing is amazing. The was a male choir singing out front in the square as well which was fantastic. This is a must see in salzburg.

I visited because it was there but, once inside, I was impressed by its magnificence. There were a couple of guides showing groups of tourists round but we opted to wander gently looking at what we wanted to see at our own pace. I was particularly taken by the crypt.

A pure delight of Baroque splendor. It is absolutely irresistible. You may need to return from time to time as there are ceremonies when the place cannot be visited. And please, be a respectful tourist. When the notice says no photographs, do not take any.

It won't take but a few minutes to go in and take a look around. REally amazing craftsmanship - so you don't want to miss it, but it is rather dark and dreary. I liked the fountain out front, too.

This is a lovely building both outside and inside and you must pick up a information brochure as the history of this Cathedral is amazing. We worth a visit and a hour or more walking around.

Cathedral was damaged during World War II and was restored only in 1959. Impressive architecture! We attended the morning Mass. Beautiful organ music. Very peaceful.

Is Maria somewhere around here? What a beautiful Cathedral. We have seen many but they still take your breath away when you walk through the doors to view the massive ceilings and gold adornments to every wall. Fantastic.
