Your Experience

A full-day journey from Vienna lets you enjoy alpine landscapes, explore Salzburg’s rich history, and still have free time to discover the city at your own pace.

Meet your guide in central Vienna and board a comfortable bus for the scenic drive to Salzburg. Make sure to arrive early, as the bus departs on schedule.

Once you reach Salzburg, your tour guide will be ready to take you on a guided walking tour of its most popular tourist sights. The first stop is the stunning Mirabell Palace, where you might recognize a few famous locations from the movie The Sound of Music. In the garden of the palace, you will spot the place where Maria and the children sang “Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So.” Marvel at the fountains and the steps as you reimagine scenes from the movie. Next, you will notice the horse pond where Baron Trapp sang the iconic Edelweiß song as he bid farewell to Maria.

  • Lake Wolfgangsee: Stop at this turquoise lake surrounded by mountains, perfect for photos and a short break.

  • Salzburg Old Town: Explore Salzburg’s UNESCO-listed Old Town on a guided walking tour covering Mozart’s birthplace, Mirabell Gardens, and baroque squares.

  • The Sound of Music sites: See famous filming locations from the classic movie, with your guide sharing fun stories and insights.
