Experience the TOP highlights of the city of Salzburg!

Combine a Best of Mozart Fortress Concert with a unique amphibious city tour on the Salzach and get to know Salzburg and its surroundings from its most beautiful side.

 

We show you many sights such as the enchanting area around the Mirabell Palace, where today is located one of the world's most beautiful wedding rooms, the Leopoldskron Palace, world famous because of the location for the movie "Sound of Music", the Hellbrunn Palace, in which already the Archbishop celebrated his festivities, old districts of the city centre, Mozart's living house and much, much more. On the way back you will then feel a real "splash down" to the Salzach River to have a wonderful and truly unusual perspective of the skyline of the city of Salzburg from there.

 

The tour lasts about 1 hour 25 minutes

 

Then you will enjoy the Best of Mozart Fortress Concert in the most magnificent rooms of the Fortress Hohensalzburg - this will be a real highlight high above the rooftops of the city.

The jetty can be reached within about 15 minutes on foot from most of the city's hotels, we therefore generally advise city hotel guests not to undertake the journey to the area surrounding the fortress with their own car.

Fortress Hohensalzburg

Fortress Hohensalzburg is a real eye-catcher, high above the Baroque towers of the city. The castle remains a visible landmark to this day and is an unmistakable feature of Salzburg’s world-famous skyline. From afar, the mighty walls begin to reveal the history visitors experience at first hand within these sturdy defenses.
