HOP-ON HOP-OFF SALZBURG

Description

Hop on to this eye-opening bus tour and behold the beauty of Salzburg’s many palaces, churches, monuments and gardens.

Get your bearings of the city as you pass many of Salzburg’s most iconic landmarks, including the world-famous Mozarteum music university, the majestic Makart Square and beautiful baroque Trinity Church. See the renowned State Theatre – which was a popular haunt of the Mozart family – and the former City Hall. Head into the Old Town and see the Capuchin Monastery, the popular Mozart Square and the Italian baroque Kajetan Church, with its broad, palatial façade.

Pass the courthouse, the medieval Steingasse alleyway, the Museum of Modern Art and the House of Nature museum. See the unpretentious St Blasius Church, one of the oldest in the city, and the Getreidegasse, the street that Mozart was born in. Explore a more spiritual Salzburg at the Horse Pond, the onion-domed St Peter’s Abbey, the Great Festival Hall, the ancient Sigmund’s Gate and the Stiegl World of Brewing museum.

Admire the Leopoldskron Palace (which was the Von Trapp family home in the Sound of Music) and the imposing Hohensalzburg Castle, which dominates the city from the top of mount Festungsberg. See the Freisaal Palace, one of Salzburg’s hidden treasures, and the Hellbrunn Palace, where the gazebo from the Sound of Music is located. The bus also passes the Frohnburg Palace, Nonnberg Abbey, Mozart’s home and the magnificent Mirabell Palace.
