Kapuzinerberg

Your tour kicks off in the heart of Salzburg, where you’ll meet your guide and start with a relaxed walk through the beautiful Mirabell Gardens—perfect for soaking up the city’s baroque charm and getting a feel for its history. From there, it’s time to leave the busy streets behind and head up Kapuzinerberg, a quiet forested hill with some of the best views of Salzburg and the impressive Hohensalzburg Fortress towering above the city. It’s a bit of a climb, but totally worth it. The adventure continues as you wind your way down through the narrow, romantic Steingasse, one of the oldest streets in town, before crossing the river into the lively Getreidegasse—home to Mozart’s birthplace and full of that classic Salzburg vibe. You’ll finish the tour in the old church quarter, surrounded by grand baroque buildings and hidden corners that feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Throughout the tour, your guide (also a professional photographer) will be capturing your experience with natural, high-quality photos. You’ll get at least 50 edited shots delivered via a private gallery within 24h—so you can just enjoy the moment and leave the camera work to someone else.
