Tourists sightseeing in Salzburg passing by at Café Tomaselli
Founded in 1705, Café Tomaselli, which is located on the Alter Markt just a few steps away from the Salzburg Cathedral and the famous Getreidegasse, is Austria’s oldest “Viennese coffee house”. The Tomaselli continues to be a stylish representative of a 300-year-old Austrian coffee-house tradition. Now, as ever, a popular gathering place for an array of illustrious personalities, where such prominent figures as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Max Reinhardt and Herbert von Karajan, were regularly to be seen. Splendid inlayed wood paneling decorates the walls, marble tables, silver trays, classic newspaper stands, Tuxedo-clad waiters and “kitchen maids” transport 21st-century guests back into “the good old days”. Highly recommended in summer, in addition to the every-popular balcony, is the “Kiosk”, built in 1860, a wonderfully atmospheric coffee-house garden with shady chestnut trees.
