Very impressive grounds and buildings - worth a trip just to walk around outside. Of course, the main attraction is Klimt's "The Kiss", but there are many other wonderful works of art. It's not as large as some other galleries and as such, it only took us about an hour and a half to look around. We went towards the end of the day and it wasn't too busy.
We had the Vienna Pass and couldn't see how to pre-book tickets on line, so went to the ticket sales on the day to find out we didn't need a ticket and to just show the Vienna Pass at the main entrance.

We used the funicular to get up as it was a very hot day. Great views over the city and an interesting walk around the fortress. We ate at the panorama restaurant at the top of the funicular and the food was delicious. It suddenly became very, very windy just as we sat down to eat which of course, stopped not long after we finished our food!
We had the Salzburg card so admission was free.

An absolute must see, even just for the trick fountains alone (as a caution, you will get a little wet, but it's well worth it). The palace is set on expansive grounds, so set aside a bit of time to properly see everything.
I'd highly recommend the restaurant on site, the food was amazing and had one of the best schnitzels I'd had in Austria.

We did the tour here with a lovely tour guide, and despite not having gone to an opera before, I found it interesting and informative. It's an impressive building and even more so impressive the work that goes on behind the scenes. I'd recommend the tour to anyone with an interest in architecture, history, and of course, opera and the arts.

An incredibly impressive work of architecture and art. The amount of work that has gone into this cathedral is amazing. Well worth a look inside for such a small price.
