From Mayrhofen: Private Salzburg Old Town Day Trip

Discover Salzburg's Old Town on a private day trip from Mayrhofen. Visit Hellbrunn Palace, stroll through the Mirabell Gardens, and enjoy free time to explore the city at your own pace.
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Mayrhofen, Finkenberg, Hippach, Ramsau im Zillertal, Zell am Ziller, Aschau, Kaltenbach, Uderns, or Fügen. Settle into a private, air-conditioned car or minivan and enjoy a scenic drive out of the Zillertal, along the Inn Valley, and past the Chiemsee Lake to Salzburg. The route passes briefly through Germany, so bring your passport or national ID card.

Stop at Hellbrunn Palace and Park, where you can walk through the park to the famous Sound of Music gazebo. From April to early November, enjoy the playful trick fountains (ticket not included).

Next, drive to the city center and explore the Mirabell Gardens, with its flower beds, Pegasus fountain, the Do-Re-Mi steps, and the view of Hohensalzburg Fortress.

Then, take a guided walk through Salzburg's old town with your guide. Stroll along Getreidegasse with its wrought-iron shop signs, see Mozart's Birthplace, Salzburg Cathedral, and Residenzplatz, and hear stories about Mozart and the prince-archbishops.

Enjoy free time in the old town to have lunch in a traditional Austrian restaurant or coffee house, take an optional funicular to Hohensalzburg Fortress (ticket not included), or go shopping. Your guide will recommend the best places.

Finally, relax on the drive back to the Zillertal and get dropped off at your hotel.

From late November to the end of December, the old town hosts the famous Christkindlmarkt on Cathedral and Residenz squares, a perfect winter day away from the ski slopes. Because the trip is private, timing is flexible.

Prefer your own language? During the drives, recorded audio commentary is available in the vehicle in English, Chinese, Spanish, Malay, Hindi, Filipino, Portuguese, Korean or Japanese (in the vehicle only).

To guarantee availability book as soon as possible. Early booking is worth consideration especially if you planning the trip during high season like public holidays or weekends.
