While here we will get to Salzburg’s most famous street, the Getreidegasse, which is especially renowned for its wrought-iron trade signs and Mozart’s Birthplace.
Stroll through Salzburg’s Old Town to admire its historic buildings, such as the medieval apartments and churches that were built from the Middle Ages to the baroque time, and conclude the tour with a panoramic view from Mönchsberg Hill with a free guide (optional).

The tour guide was wonderful. We covered a great many areas, Christmas markets, churches, gardens, "Sound of Music" etc, I would recommend it if you are looking for a good overview. I think that if I were to go to Salzburg again, I might take the SOM tour. I thought I didn't want that but I wanted more
