Experience the authentic Maxglan

Our family-run hotels max70 and junior are located in a district that is particularly popular with Salzburg residents: Maxglan is village-like, green and has a long history of its own. Your host family has long helped shape the authentic character of the district - before the hotels, the Wendl family had a renowned guesthouse. Here comes the Local Heart, Urban Soul insider guide for Maxglan.

Farmers in the middle of the city

Did I hear a rooster crow this morning? Not uncommon in Maxglan, as there are still active farms in this part of town. The Stoibergut farm owned by the Glück family, for example, is right next to the max70 hotel. A paradise especially for children. They can take baking courses here, celebrate children's birthdays or spend farm weeks during the holidays. The Schlagerhof in Maxglan also keeps its doors open, and you can shop directly from the farm. Also worth seeing: the Rochushof, a former farm where you can buy agricultural products and delicacies from all over Salzburg.

Rustic inns

Zur Einkehr, Drei Hasen, Kuglhof, Wastlwirt, Zum Noisternig, Stiegls Brauwelt, Zirkelwirt, Weinstöckl Stadtheuriger - the selection of rustic inns and typical Austrian restaurants is particularly high in the Maxglan district. The best thing: the restaurants are not on the classic tourist routes, here you eat and drink among locals and connoisseurs who avoid overpriced tourist rip-offs in the city. The menus of the Maxglan inns include classics such as Wiener Schnitzel, roasts, dumplings and, of course, meatless dishes. The Stiegl Brewery, Austria's largest private brewery, is omnipresent in the district - not only through its own brewery premises, the Stiegls Brauwelt show brewery and the associated restaurants, but also on the drinks menus of the Maxglan innkeepers.

Furniture and antiques shopping on Maxglaner Hauptstrasse

Neutorstrasse and Maxglaner Hauptstrasse are Salzburg's interior design miles. Designer stores line up here, and anyone looking for high-quality interiors will find what they're looking for here. All major design brands from Vitra to Fritz Hansen, Hästens, Ligne Roset and Co are represented here by retailers or mono-label stores. In between there are modern antiques and antique shops, all with a very service-oriented character. Craftsmen from upholsterers to curtain shops can also be found in Maxglan. Perfect for anyone who is currently planning a new home. How does the furniture get from Salzburg to your home? Shipping and freight forwarding are not a problem in Salzburg's shops, but the fact that visitors to the city cannot take their purchases home with them straight away is commonplace in these stores.
