In this episode of the Free Walking Tour Salzburg's Podcast, I will introduce you to the churches of Salzburg. Why are there so many churches in Salzburg? Well, Salzburg until for most of its history was ruled by archbishops and, therefore, by the Catholic Church. Churches in Salzburg are an alternative way of sightseeing. If you visit all the churches, your route takes you through all the old town and along lots of other important sights. In addition, the churches provide a unique insight into Salzburg's history.
