St. Peter's Abbey Church, as the church of St. Peter's Archabbey, once housed the tomb of Saint Rupert. Today it is empty, but preserved. Thus, the church is also a special destination on the St. Rupert Pilgrimage Trail.

The view of the old town from Mönchsberg, Festungsberg and Kalorienhöhe is beautiful. You also always have the local mountain of the Salzburgers, the Gaisberg, in view.
