Volksgarten Salzburg

Volksgarten Salzburg is a spacious public park located east of Salzburg’s historic center, near the Salzach River. Positioned along Hundertwasser Allee, the park combines open recreational areas with sports facilities and riverside accessibility, creating a lively yet balanced urban green space.

Unlike formal historic gardens, Volksgarten is designed as a multifunctional public park. Its wide lawns, tree-lined paths, playgrounds, and sports areas make it especially popular with families, students, and local residents.

Atmosphere

Volksgarten Salzburg offers:

• Large open meadows for relaxation and informal activities
• Walking and cycling paths near the Salzach River
• Sports facilities including courts and open play areas
• A vibrant, community-oriented environment

On warm days, the park fills with people exercising, meeting friends, or enjoying picnics on the grass. Its scale allows for both active use and quieter corners under mature trees.

Why Add It to Your Route

• Spacious green area close to the Old Town
• Direct access to riverside paths
• Family- and sport-friendly infrastructure
• Authentic local atmosphere beyond tourist hotspots

Volksgarten Salzburg is not a decorative garden, but a practical and energetic public park. It reflects everyday life in Salzburg — open, social, and closely connected to the surrounding urban landscape.
