Relax and enjoy an unforgettable city trip to Salzburg in our modern, comfortable bus. During the drive, you will be treated to breathtaking views of the picturesque Salzkammergut, with its sparkling lakes and majestic mountain ranges, providing the perfect backdrop for your journey. The green hills, shimmering waters, and towering peaks will captivate nature lovers and also "Sound of Music" fans, who will recognize the filming locations from the famous movie. Especially the opening scenes, which showcase the beauty of this region, will accompany you throughout the ride.

Upon arrival in Salzburg, a fascinating walk through the historic Old Town awaits, where we will introduce you to the city's most famous landmarks. The Mirabell Gardens, a renowned filming location from "The Sound of Music," is just one of many spots you’ll discover on your walk. It is here that Maria and the children filmed the iconic "Do-Re-Mi" scene, singing by the fountain and on the steps. You will also see the Pferdeschwemme and the Felsenreitschule, where Baron von Trapp sang the "Edelweiß" song at the farewell. These places and their stories will transport you to the time of the movie's production, bringing the magic of the film to life.
Another highlight of the tour is the visit to Mozart's birthplace in the historic Getreidegasse. This narrow, winding street still feels like it did in the 18th century, and it leads you to the place where the famous composer was born. A walk through this historic area offers a unique insight into the life of the musical genius. During your time in the Old Town, you will also discover other landmarks such as the impressive University Church, St. Peter’s Abbey, the Salzburg Cathedral, and the world-renowned Festival Hall.

After the guided tour, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the city at your own pace. Wander through the charming streets, enjoy a delicious lunch, or browse the many shops. Salzburg offers a perfect mix of history, culture, and modern amenities, so there’s something for everyone.
