Salzburg Highlights — Spend the day in one of Austria’s most picturesque alpine cities, setting of the beloved film The Sound of Music and the birthplace of Mozart. Drive with your guide past charming mountain villages, rolling hills and pristine lakes. Upon arrival in this glorious city, enjoy a guided walking tour of the Italianate Old Town, strolling past high-baroque architecture and through the splendid Mirabell Gardens, where scenes in the movie were filmed. By foot, as the medieval Hohensalzburg Fortress watches over from atop its rocky cliff, you will gain an intimate view of Salzburg. Continue to the Domplatz, dominated by the 249-foot 17th-century Dom and St. Peter’s Abbey, where Mozart premiered the Great Mass in C Minor in 1783. Savor lunch in Austria’s oldest restaurant, named for the church, as classically trained singers and musicians regale you with songs in the spirit of the movie musical.
