Alter Markt is home to some of Salzburg's classiest cafés, one of which is this traditional establishment near the cathedral. Boasting a long and proud history, Café Fürst is spread over two floors, both of which are stylishly and comfortably furnished. The choice of food includes a number of savory snacks, but Café Fürst is undoubtedly most well known for its scrumptious home-made cakes and chocolates. All confectionery is made on the premises and Café Fürst is even credited with creating the legendary Mozart-Kugel.
In the Hotel Sacher, is an excellent cafe called Cafe Sachar. The atmosphere is elegant and weather permitting, you can sit outside and enjoy the views of the Old Town and its fortress. The cafe and the Salzachgrill which is situated in the same hotel, both offer hot meals on a daily basis. If you are here for tea, then try the house special, which is the famous 'Sacher Torte' (a chocolate cake). This can also be posted throughout the world as a present. If this sounds like a nice gift idea, then go to the Confiserie Shop around the corner, where the cakes are packed in wooden boxes and sent off.
