Private Tour to Salzburg for River cruise passengers - Passau or Linz

About this activity

Take a shore excursion to Salzburg, a city with a rich history. You'll explore Salzburg, a World Heritage City, in addition to the lovely journey on off-the-beaten-track roads from Passau to Salzburg.

The city of Salzburg, which for many years was ruled by catholic prince archbishops, is also famous for being the location of the Sound of Music movie. Along with the sites from the Sound of Music, visit the city's most well-known historical sites.

Important note: It is completely normal for your ship to change location during the day—typically continuing to Vilshofen or occasionally Linz. Rest assured, we will return you to your ship in the correct location, even if it is no longer in Passau. This is a regular part of our service and nothing to worry about.
