Hallein Sights

  1. Keltenmuseum

    Recently brought bang up to date with an all-glass façade overlooking the Salzach, the Keltenmuseum runs chronologically through the region's heritage in a series of beautiful vaulted rooms. It begins with a fine collection of Celtic artefacts including Asterix-style helmets, an impressively reconstructed chariot and a selection of bronze brooches, pendants and buckles.

  2. Salzwelten Salzburg

    Austria's biggest show-mine, Salzwelten Salzburg pays tribute to the salt that filled Salzburg's coffers during its princely heyday. Visitors don an Oompa Loompa-style boiler suit to descend to the bowls of the earth and board a rickety train. The tour passes through a maze of claustrophobic passageways, over the border to Germany and down a 27m slide - don't break, lift your legs and ask the guide to add wax for extra speed!
