Tour description
Curving around a river beneath a majestic clifftop fortress, Salzburg is one of Europe's most beautiful small cities: the birthplace of Mozart, the setting for The Sound of Music, and a Baroque masterpiece in its own right. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the historical layers of this UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town.
You will stroll through elegant squares built by prince-archbishops, wander along the famous Getreidegasse with its wrought-iron guild signs, and hear stories of Mozart, salt merchants, and Hollywood. Compact, charming, and framed by Alpine peaks, Salzburg is a wonderful destination to explore on foot.
