This was recommended to me by a couple I met on the Sound of Music tour. It’s a lovely way to spend an evening in Salzburg listening to beautiful music in an historic fortress. I would recommend getting the dinner/concert package if you can. The musicians were fantastic! Lovely touch purchasing a glass of champagne on the way in too! Easy transportation via the funicular.

The performers had a professional charm and a well-synchronized concerto. It was the best concert I’ve ever heard in Austria. Visiting Salzburg Castle an hour before the evening was a new adventure. With snow-capped mountains in the background, you can enjoy a simple drink, watch the sunset, or take in the sights of Salzburg’s city center.
