Reviews
I really enjoyed this area. It has the oldest Abbey in Europe dating back to the 7th century. The oldest church we couldn't go in. But you can peek thru 2 man-made holes in the door. The church is surrounded by cemeteries, adorned with perennials and flowers. There are other cemeteries at the periphery with statues and paintings. Then there is the catacombs. The only thing you pay for here in the St. Peter's Abbey. Just 2 Euros or very inexpensive. Nothing compared to Italy's catacombs. The catacombs I'd actually say should be called "chapel". There were no skulls or skeletons. And no mannequins to indicate where people where buried but it's amazing to see. It's actually built onto the side of a mountain wall. There is also a beautiful church ( you can go I'm this one), a great little seen restaurant and Christian shop. DEFINITELY a must see this area in Salzburg!!!
Just wow! It is truly an amazing place. It looks like a royal palace from the inside! It is definitely worth a visit, especially because it is free of charge
St. Peter's Abbey in Salzburg, founded around the year 700, is the oldest monastery in the German-speaking area. Church of the Abbey of St. Peter, the cemetery of St. Petra, the oldest library in Austria. Fans of the movie My Songs, My Dreams will recognize the cemetery and its catacombs from the movie.
Its such a grand and beautiful church that you will be awestruck. One of the grandest cathedral I have been to.
Its located in the city center. Entry is free.
Very nice area. There is a nice plaza with fountain. A little gift shop has very reasonable items for sale. You can also catch a glimpse of the oldest restaurant still operating.
