Tour description
Wrapped around a river beneath a mighty clifftop fortress, Salzburg is one of the most beautiful small cities in Europe: the birthplace of Mozart, the backdrop of The Sound of Music, and a baroque masterpiece in its own right. On this walking tour a local guide reveals the layers of this UNESCO-listed old town.
You will wander the elegant squares built by prince-archbishops, stroll the famous Getreidegasse with its wrought-iron shop signs, and hear the stories of Mozart, salt merchants and Hollywood alike. Compact, graceful and framed by Alpine peaks, Salzburg is a joy to explore on foot.
