Once in Salzburg, I recommend getting a Salzburg Card if you are staying 2 or more nights. The hotel I was staying at sold the 48 hr version and you can also buy them at the Tourist Information office in Downtown. This card gives you free access to all the main attractions in the City along with free use of the bus public transit. The best and highest views of the City are from the Fortress Hohensalzburg which is accessed by taking the SLB FestungsBahn funicular. While at the Fortress, make sure to take the free guided audio tour which includes access to an outdoor observation deck located at the top of the fortress with spectacular 360 degree views of the City. If you have the time and interest, there are private tours of the locations used in the filming of the Sound of Music, which is popular activity but I decided to skip it.
