It retains a historic feel with traditional Austrian architecture and offers a slightly less crowded experience than the main Altstadt. It's a great option for solo travellers who appreciate being close to the action but prefer a slightly quieter base. From here, it's an easy walk to the Mirabell Gardens and the Salzach River promenade.

Nonntal, situated to the south of Altstadt and just beyond the Mönchsberg, provides a more residential and peaceful atmosphere. It's characterised by charming streets, local bakeries, and good access to green spaces around the Nonnberg Abbey.
