It is the place where the world famous mozart balls have been invented and where they are still made by hand. If you want to try them, go there, since also the locals buy them mostly there. Besides that it is a nice place to enjoy a good coffee, combined with some sweets.

Definitely off the beaten track, as Panzerhalle is squashed in the unlikeliest of areas of Salzburg. You would really need to know about this place to go there as the chances are pretty slim of stumbling upon it by chance. As its name indicates, this used to be a hall for tanks but houses offices but also has lovely terraces and restaurants.

This place is off the beaten track as it is outside the city centre, but it is popular with locals and it is understandable why as the outdoor terrace is very pleasant and the food is good. If you are looking to experience a taste of Austria, this is a good place to start.

If you like to go back in time, visit the oldest viennese coffee house in Salzburg, established already in the year 1703. Locals like to be seen there on a Saturday and Sunday morning. It is funny to see the old structure and furniture and getting served by two people: one that brings you drinks and then another one that brings you cakes, etc.

The building is in itself rather futuristic, and is a great place to watch planes take off from and land in Salzburg airport. Entrance is completely free and you can look at Red Bull's collection of airplanes, helicopters and Formula 1 cars. There is also a restaurant on the 1st floor and a cocktail bar on the 2nd.
