Overview

This tour is a walking tour and an introduction to Salzburg by a local licensed tour guide. It is the ideal way to get to know the city of Salzburg and its main attractions.

During the one-and-a-half-hour walk, you get a basic understanding of the history and the sights of Salzburg, answers to your questions and personal recommendations, and suggestions for sightseeing and activities.

You will also receive a printed map of the city with an overview of the sights, but also recommendations for food and drink and information about day trips, so you can better find your way around the city on your own after the tour.

Each of our tour guides has attended one and a half years of training, passed a three-day exam and has years of experience as a guide in Salzburg.
