Highlights

Visit famous sites from The Sound of Music

See Mozart’s place of birth and former residence

Admire the 900-year-old Hohensalzburg Fortress

Description

Salzburg is the hometown of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. If you’d like to visit his place of birth, former residence, the streets he walked and the cafés he frequented, join our day trip and we’ll take you there!

Salzburg is also one of the most popular “set-jetting” or movie tourism destinations in the world for one simple reason – The Sound of Music. We’ll show you sites you’ll remember from the silver screen, such as the beautiful Mirabell Gardens where Julie Andrews and the children were filmed singing Do-Re-Mi.

And still, there’s so much more to see. Salzburg features one of the finest preserved medieval old towns in Europe, with romantic winding shopping streets, atmospheric marketplaces and outstanding architectural monuments dating back to the late baroque era.

You’ll see piazzas and fountains, the stunning Salzburg Cathedral, palaces and pleasure gardens, churches, monasteries and catacombs, confectioneries and patisseries, and the oldest restaurant in the continent. And, towering above it all, the breathtaking 900-year-old Hohensalzburg Fortress. Framed by a spectacular backdrop of mountains, this magnificent edifice dominates the city’s skyline.

Thank you for making the trip a memorable experience.
The best tour I have ever been on out of the many I have been on, mainly due to the tour guide himself. In addition to being knowledgeable in seemingly everything concerning Salzburg and being fluent in German, he supplied me and my friends with a great and unique experience of Salzburg. None of what he said during the tour was scripted, but was rather drawn from his own personal knowledge of the region and explained with his own good sense of humor. Moreover, the extensiveness of this personal knowledge was shown as he detailed to me and all of the other tour attendees what and what would not be good to see in Salzburg with the current day's climate, which saved everyone a great deal of time and effort. He also went above and beyond what was required of him as a tour guide later on as he explained to me to me and my friends what we should see in Munich and the surrounding region, where one of the best restaurants in Munich was, as well as answering the incessant trivia that me and my friends asked. He even gave me a drink of his own Beer, which is only obtainable in Salzburg and which I had forgotten to buy. I do not feel it is an exaggeration to say that this man is a God, in terms of his abilities as a tour guide. Please if you are going on the Radius Salzburg tour or any other tour for that matter, ask when Ian is doing the tour to get the most out of the experience.
Excellent trip!
Iain was an excellent guide and took pride in his job. He was fun to listen to and had excellent advice about what to and what not to see. He spent the train ride giving us history about Salzburg and genuinely seemed to enjoy the time spent. He answered all of our questions and had tidbits far beyond just brief history. As most people have said, the time was short and you could spend much longer in Salzburg so plan on knowing a little about what you want to see to maximize your free time spent!
