Sightseeing tour Salzburg

A sightseeing tour Salzburg visitors book here can be forty minutes on a river boat for $21 or four hours through the film locations for $84. Around those two sit concerts, entry tickets, cooking classes and trips out of the city: 35 listings in six price bands, up to a private full day in Hallstatt for $941. Price is the first filter; the second is the kind of day — a bus seat, a walk with a guide, an evening of Mozart or a lake in the Salzkammergut.

The most reviewed listing on the page is the Original Sound of Music Tour: 6,283 reviews at 4.8, $84 for four hours. Its description promises locations used in the film, songs from the soundtrack on the way and views of the countryside around the city. It is the top pick here and it is not the cheapest: the from price of $21 belongs to the boat, a shorter and simpler ride.

On the water, the Salzach boat glides past the town scenery to the residential area in the south, rated 4.3 by 1,042 people. The amphibious vehicle covers the city on land and on water in an hour and a half for $47, rated 4.7 by 1,596. The longer river option is $49: a boat ride, then a visit to Hellbrunn Palace and the water features in its grounds, two and a half hours in all.

On foot, the two shared walks cost $39 and $50. The cheaper one is two hours with a licensed guide through the Old Town and Mirabell Gardens, rated 4.8 by 739 people; the other runs two and a half hours from the New Town to the Old Town, with an optional view from the Mönchsberg, and has more reviews, 1,139, at a lower 4.2. A private guide is $184 for two to six hours or $275 for two; the Segway tour, $95, rides up the Mönchsberg.

Music takes the evenings. Chamber music in the Marble Hall at Mirabell Palace is $44 for an hour and a half and, with 4,309 reviews at 4.8, the second most reviewed listing here. Up at Hohensalzburg Fortress the Best of Mozart concert is $48, or $94 with dinner; a river cruise, dinner and the concert on one ticket are $122. At midday, up to seven organs fill Salzburg Cathedral for half an hour, $13.

The cheapest listing on the page is not a tour: entry to Salzburg Cathedral, with or without the audio guide, is $8. The Hohensalzburg Fortress ticket is $22 with 2,783 reviews, and its listing names the funicular as the quickest way up. For busy hands, the apple strudel and Salzburger Nockerl class is $67, rated 4.9 by 568 people, and ten Mozartkugeln made from scratch are $73. The Marionette Theater stages The Magic Flute for $37 and The Sound of Music for $54.

The long days leave the city. The half-day tour to Hallstatt is $95 for five and a half hours — a lakeside walk, the Mullbach Waterfall and the skywalk if you wish — with 4,201 reviews at 4.7; Hallstatt and the Sound of Music tour on one ticket is $157 for ten hours. The Hallein Salt Mine, with its mine train and wooden slides, is $77. Private days in Hallstatt, St. Gilgen and St. Wolfgang, or in Berchtesgaden with a ferry on the Königssee, cost $301 to $941.
