Itinerary

Schloss Mirabell & Mirabellgarten

20 min

Start your sightseeing experience with a visit of Mirabellgardens, also used for many scenes during 'Do-Re-Mi' in the world-famous movie Sound of Music.
Salzburger Altstadt

45 min

Next is a tour through the old town of Salzburg, passing Mozarts residence, Mozart’s birth place, the Salzburg Cathedral, the festival houses, St. Peter´s Church. And the highlight is a stop at Salzburgs best view point.
Schloss Leopoldskron

10 min

Just a little bit south of the city center, picturesquely situated at a small artificial lake lies the palace Leopldskron, former seat of the prince-archbishop and as well used as a shooting location for the world-famous movie Sound of Music. 10 outdoor scenes were filmed here portraying the von Trapp family home.
Schloss Hellbrunn

20 min

Next is Hellbrunn palace, built in the early 17th century, used by the Prinz Archbishops of Salzburg as a pleasure palace. Located south of the city center and surrounded by a beautiful park, Hellbrunn is also hosting the original rebuilt gazebo of the Sound of Music movie. Have a stroll through the park and visit the Sound of Music gazebo, where the Baron von Trapp kissed Maria for the first time and Lisl sang 16 going on 17.
Kehlsteinhaus

2 hours Admission not included

You will continue your journey from Salzburg on a scenery rout to the Obersalzberg. From there you will access the Eagle´s Nest with special busses and elevator. You will have 2 hours at the Eagle´s Nest, take a stroll on the beautiful Kehlstein Mountain where the Eagle´s Nest is built on.

From November 4th 2019 until about May 10th 2020 (depends on the snow conditions of the year), the Eagle's Nest direct access road is closed, alternatively we offer to visit the Rossfeld summit instead. From this vantage point, soak in panoramic views of the stunning Austrian and Bavarian Alps and the nearby Eagle's Nest. Feel free to choose this option also when Eagle's Nest is opened if you prefer a much less crowded, more local site than the Eagle's Nest.
Stop 6

30 min

Explore the Obersalzberg, once one of the most important secondary centers of power of the Nazi regime. Beyond serving as a mountain retreat, it functioned as a key operational location where major political decisions were made.

During your visit, learn about the Berghof site - Hitler’s former residence, as well as nearby historical locations such as the Hotel zum Türken. Today, the area offers a striking contrast between its peaceful alpine setting and its complex past.
Salzburger Altstadt

Passing by

After eight hours exploring the Ealge´s Nest and the City of Salzburg, your privat tour will conclude with drop-off at your Salzburg hotel or any other location in Salzburg.
