Highlights

What the day is built around.

Mozart’s city

Salzburg is the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and his birth house on the Getreidegasse remains the city’s most visited address.

The baroque old town

Salzburg’s Altstadt is UNESCO-listed — a compact baroque core beneath the Hohensalzburg Fortress, one of the largest fully preserved medieval castles in Central Europe.

Mirabell Gardens

The palace gardens frame one of the classic views across the old town to the fortress — an easy, central stop your chauffeur can time around the crowds.

Hohensalzburg Fortress

One of Europe’s largest preserved medieval castles sits directly above the old town, reachable by funicular, with views across the Salzach river to the Alps.

Sound of Music locations

Several filming locations, including the Mirabell Gardens fountain, are within walking distance of each other in the old town — easy to combine with the rest of the day.
