Your private tour begins with a hotel pick-up in Bratislava. Relax in a comfortable private vehicle as your driver takes you on a scenic journey across Austria, passing rolling hills, alpine landscapes, and charming villages along the way. The drive to Salzburg gives you plenty of time to enjoy the views and settle into the experience.

Upon arrival in Salzburg, you will meet your private local guide and set off on a 3-hour guided walking tour through this enchanting UNESCO World Heritage city, famously known as the birthplace of Mozart and the filming location of The Sound of Music.

Your walking tour begins in the Mirabell Gardens, where your guide will show you the Baroque beauty of the flower beds and fountains that served as a backdrop for the “Do-Re-Mi” scene in The Sound of Music. From there, you will cross the Makartsteg Bridge with its love locks and enter the historic Old Town.

Strolling along Getreidegasse, Salzburg’s most famous shopping street, you will admire the colorful facades, wrought-iron signs, and the house where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born. Your guide will share stories of Mozart’s childhood and musical genius, as well as insights into Salzburg’s cultural traditions.

Next, you will explore the Residenzplatz, framed by the Archbishop’s Residence and the Baroque Salzburg Cathedral, where Mozart himself was baptized. The nearby Domplatz and Kapitelplatz will give you a sense of the city’s spiritual and political importance during the time of the Prince-Archbishops.

Your walk continues to lively Alter Markt square, home to Salzburg’s oldest bakery and traditional shops. Throughout the tour, your guide will reveal fascinating details about Salzburg’s history, music, and architecture while showing you hidden courtyards and picturesque streets.

After the guided tour, enjoy free time for lunch or explore Salzburg at your own pace. You may wish to take the funicular up to the Hohensalzburg Fortress for breathtaking views of the city and surrounding Alps, relax in a traditional Austrian café, or visit one of the city’s many museums. Your guide will gladly recommend the best options based on your interests.

In the late afternoon, your driver will meet you again for the private transfer back to Bratislava. You will return to your hotel in the evening, bringing back wonderful memories of Salzburg’s charm, music, and history.
