Salzburg's Old Town, with over 400 shops and boutiques, offers a unique shopping experience. Jewellery, handicrafts, designer wear, high fashion, books, music, souvenirs - there is an abundance of items for sale along the pretty, narrow lanes and the charming squares in Salzburg's historic centre. The Getreidegasse is the most famous shopping lane here, but there are many others as well, and in between all the shops and boutiques there are plenty of places selling refreshments or a bite to eat.

The street markets offer a different kind of shopping. The Green Market on University Square and the adjacent Wiener Philharmoniker Gasse is open daily except for Sundays and features an abundance of meat, fruit, vegetables, seafood, fish, bread and cheeses, as well as flowers and local handicrafts. Every Thursday morning there is a lively and popular market in front of St Andrew's Church called the Schranne, which is well worth visiting.

Shops are generally open Monday to Friday 0900 to 1800/1830 and Saturday 0900 to 1700.
