- 3.Mirabell Palace & Gardens — The most famous gardens in Salzburg — Mirabell Palace and its glorious baroque gardens, a riot of manicured flowerbeds, fountains, statues and hedge-lined walks, with a picture-perfect view across to the fortress on the hill. Fans of The Sound of Music will recognise the Pegasus fountain, the steps and the terraces from 'Do-Re-Mi'. Stroll the beautiful (free) gardens, snap the fortress view, and step into the palace's stunning Marble Hall if it's open. A gorgeous, free and quintessential Salzburg highlight; lovely in bloom. Utterly charming.
- 6.The Sound of Music sights — Salzburg is the setting for the beloved film, and following its trail is a joy — the Mirabell Gardens ('Do-Re-Mi'), the Hellbrunn gazebo ('Sixteen Going on Seventeen'), Nonnberg Abbey, Leopoldskron Palace and the surrounding hills alive with music. Take one of the famous singalong bus tours out to the lake district and film locations, or track them down yourself; it's cheesy, nostalgic and enormous fun, with gorgeous Alpine scenery thrown in. A quintessential, feel-good Salzburg experience, even for non-fans. Great fun, and beautifully scenic.
- 9.Mozart Residence & concerts — Music is the soul of Salzburg, and there's no better place to hear it — visit the Mozart Residence (the family's later, grander home, now a museum), then take in a live concert, from intimate Mozart recitals in baroque halls and fortress dinner-concerts to full performances at the festival. Hearing Mozart's music in the city that shaped him, in a candlelit baroque setting, is magical and moving. A quintessential Salzburg experience for any music lover; book a concert for an unforgettable evening. Sublime and atmospheric.
