A day trip to one of the jewels in the crown of Europe, a city so special they named it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Salzburg is famed for its old world glamour, made all the more striking by the majestic backdrop of snow-capped Alps. It is the home town of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Would you like to visit his place of birth, his residence, the streets he walked and the cafes he drank in? We'll take you there.
Salzburg is also one of the most popular movie tourism destinations in the world for one simple reason, The Sound of Music. We'll show you sites you'll remember from the silver screen. Salzburg is one of the finest preserved medieval old towns in Europe, criss-crossed with winding streets and venerable market places and adorned with architectural monuments of the later baroque era. Piazzas and fountains, the stunning Domkirche Cathedral, palaces, gardens, churches, monasteries, confectioneries and patisseries. And towering above it all, the breathtaking 900 year old fortress Festung Hohensalzburg, the magnificent edifice that dominates the city's skyline.
Your expert guide will bring you on a train ride from Munich to Austria and back again and put their knowledge of the city and what is best to see and do at your service. We'll provide you with a map and give you a 1.5 hour orientation tour through the major sites. You'll then have 3 hours to explore the city for yourself before the return journey. We have the inside knowledge of what to see and where to go and are dedicated to helping you experience the city by the most convenient and most efficient means.
The journey to Salzburg takes approximately 2 hours by train. Germany's rail system is world renown and this journey to the Alps is no exception. Trains are clean, comfortable and equipped with washrooms and snack bars.
