The valley access point for the Mönchsberg lift is located on Anton-Neumayr-Platz.

From the scenic terrace there, visitors are treated to magical views of Salzburg's Old Town.

The Mönchsberg lift

Thanks to the Mönchsberg lift, locals and tourists alike are able to ride up to the Mönchsberg at an elevation of 485 m in just a matter of seconds. Stepping out of the elevator, visitors find themselves right at the entrance to the museum of modern art. The Restaurant M32 – located in the same building – invites you to indulge in a selection of fine foods. And once your taste buds are thoroughly satisfied, you might decide to explore the numerous pathways that lead through the nature sanctuary on top of the Mönchsberg, from where you can enjoy unique views across the historic rooftops of Salzburg's Old Town.
