Full description

Visit the hometown of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on a full-day tour from Munich. Travel by train and in the imperial city, visit his place of birth (optional), his residence, the streets he walked, and the cafés he drank in.

Salzburg is also one of the most popular set-jetting destinations in the world for one simple reason, “The Sound of Music.” Visit sites you will remember from the silver screen such as the beautiful Mirabelle Gardens where Julie Andrews and the children were filmed singing “Do-Re-Mi.” An expert guide will take you on a train ride from Munich to Austria. You will be provided with a map and get a 1.5-hour orientation tour through the major sites. 

Explore one of the finest preserved medieval old towns in Europe, crisscrossed with romantic winding shopping streets and venerable market places adorned with outstanding architectural monuments of the later baroque era.

See piazzas and fountains, the stunning Domkirche Cathedral, pleasure gardens, palaces, and churches, monasteries and catacombs, and confectionaries and patisseries. You will also go to the oldest restaurant on the continent. You will then have 3 hours to explore the city for yourself, before meeting up for the return journey.

During your free time, you can visit the breathtaking 900-year-old fortress Festung Hohensalzburg, the magnificent edifice that dominates the city's skyline, itself framed by the spectacular encirclement of mountains stretching into the horizon.

The trip was good overall. The transport was not good: packed train, no food facilities on board and a five hour return trip due to a 'branch on the track'. Carlotta was attentive, friendly and keen to help all our group and she went out of her way to engage with all travellers that day and be a good and proactive source of help and guidance (five stars!). Salzburg is well worth visiting because it is picturesque and rich in music and movie history. The three hour delay on the train service on the way back was bad, but outside the control of the tour organisers.

We had an amazing time on our tour of Salzburg from Munich with Maxine. She was extremely informative, enthusiastic with a good sense of humour and made the tour especially enjoyable. She even had the forethought to prebook tables for the group if they wanted to eat at the world’s oldest restaurant that was cut into the side of a rock cliff face. An opportunity that we were extremely grateful for. We learnt lots about the history of Salzburg and saw many interesting things such as Mozart’s birth house and the beautiful Mirabell Gardens that featured in The Sound of Music. Definitely one of the best if not The Best tours we’ve been on.
