Mozart City Tour

Explore Salzburg Cathedral where Mozart was baptised and later became the court organist and concertmaster, see the Festival District where Mozart concerts are routinely held and visit St. Peter’s Abbey where it was for his childhood friend Abbot Hagenauer that Mozart composed the "Dominicus Mass". The Hellbrunn Palace is also on the stop-off list and the tour will also take you to Leopoldskron Palace and Frohnburg Palace - both locations used in the movie "The Sound of Music". The Highlight of the tour is the Mozart's Residence where you will learn interesting details about the life of the Mozart family.

Hallstatt

Travel through the stunning Salzkammergut Lake region to Hallstatt, Austria’s ancient salt mining town and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a mountain train ride up to the entrance of the World’s Oldest Salt mines offering in its path a great view down to Hallstatt, alternatively take a leisurely lakeside walk and marvel at the houses clinging onto the mountainside, pass by the Mullbach waterfall and visit the local museum. A must see place includes the ‘Bone house’ behind the Catholic church, proving an interesting view into local family life.

Lakes and Mountains Tour

From Salzburg, the tour will pass Lake Fuschl with castle Fuschl, now a five star hotel, on its shores. Explore the little town of St. Gilgen, where Mozart's mother was born and enjoy a 45-minute boat ride to St. Wolfgang. There will be some time to explore the picturesque town or have a coffee break on the terrace of the famous White Horse Inn (Weisses Rössl) - coffee break in the White Horse Inn is optional and not included. Continue your journey along the Krottensee with castle Hüttenstein and drive along Lake Mondsee before returning to Salzburg.
