Cruise the Salzach, dine at Hohensalzburg Fortress, and hear Mozart in a historic hall during this memorable Salzburg evening.
“This was a good relaxed way to see the region. Make sure to get to each of the 3 locations a bit early to exchange your vouchers for a ticket. The cruise was about 45 min with brief commentary about what we were looking at, but mostly people just drank beer/wine and didn’t pay attention to the commentator. You will need to walk 15 min to the fernicular to ride up the mountain to the fortress for dinner. The menu is preselected, so you can spend your time enjoying the wonderful view of the river and town! we had the basic menu which was tasty, then the concert was in…”
Cruise Salzburg’s Salzach River to Hellbrunn Palace, ride a vintage double-decker bus, and enjoy the famous trick fountains.
“The ride and tour were fine, the problem we had was picking up the tickets. The address given caused a problem as the folks at the hotel guided us to the wrong destination and others we asked were confused...as it turned out the tickets were being held at the ticket office at the dock. Just tell people to go to the boat dock, the address caused confusion and led us on a long "wild goose" chase.”
