Top Caves & Underground Places in Salzburg

Don't skip the hike to the entrance! It's beautiful and really sets the mood. Just wear good shoes, because it can get slippery.

I recommend grabbing some snacks at the café before the tour. Food is pretty pricey up there, and you’re gonna want some energy for the walk back.

Check the weather! It can get freezing in the cave compared to outside, so layering up is a smart move. I had to borrow a jacket from my friend!

Be ready for a bit of a wait if you’re going in peak season. We went at 10 AM and it was packed! Maybe coming around 4 PM would give you shorter lines.

If you're planning to go up on foot, wear comfortable shoes. The hike can be steep and rocky, and trust me, your feet will thank you later!

Grab some snacks before you head up. The prices at the café can be a bit steep, so having your own snacks saved us a good bit of cash.

Check the weather before you go; it can get chilly inside the caves! I made the mistake of not bringing a light jacket and regretted it as soon as I entered.

I suggest wearing good shoes, it's a bit slippery inside the cave. I almost took a tumble! You'll be climbing and navigating some uneven paths, so some sturdy kicks will save you from slipping up.

I recommend packing a small snacks and water. The inside of the cave can get humid and you might want a little break halfway through. Plus, it's nice to sit outside and enjoy the views afterwards!

Definitely wear sturdy shoes! The paths can be slippery and rocky, and I learned that the hard way. A good grip will make exploring the cave so much easier and safer.

If you're planning to take photos, go for the 3 PM tour. The lighting is perfect then, and you'll get some amazing shots without too many other people in the way.
