Description:
Discover the fascinating shades of Salzburg, Mozart's hometown. This brief but comprehensive tour takes you to the city's most iconic places, such as Hellbrunn Palace and Mozart-Wohnhaus. End your exploration with picture-perfect vistas at the city's highest vantage point, the Hohensalzburg Castle.
Your tour begins at the Mirabell Palace, built in 1606 for the Archbishop Wolf Dietrich; nowadays it serves as the city's administrative offices. Listen to your guide narrate the history of the city, including monuments that have a connection with the renowned composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Admire the architecture of 1 of the most prestigious music schools in the world, the Mozarteum University.
Follow in the composer's footsteps and visit the Market Square, home to the Landestheater (regional theater) and Mozart's reconstructed wohnhaus (residence), where he lived for many years, before continuing to Mozart Square.
After admiring the square's impressive cathedral, take a funicular ride toward the Hohensalzburg Castle—1 of the largest 11th-century fortresses in Europe. The Hohensalzburg has plenty to offer, from its breathtaking views of the city below to more than 900 years of stories detailing battles, victories, and defeats.
