About this activity
This 2.5-hour walk starts with an exploration of
Salzburg’s Burgher Town with its narrow, crooked little streets and the unique passage ways of the so-called '
Getreidegasse' Salzburg’s commercial centre still remains intact in its medieval charm contrasting the great spacious Baroque squares of the district where the Archbishops presided over the city in their Residence.
We pass by
Mozart’s Birthplace and the
Festival Halls before we reach the
monastery of the Benedictines called St. Peter – dating back to 696 AC. Along with stories of Salzburg’s medieval salt commerce and medical innovations, we follow the childhoods of Wolfgang and Nannerl Mozart as well as the life story of the great second musical son of the city, the composer, Michael Haydn.
By the end of the walk, visitors know our local customs and traditions, our cultural and political history, and our enviable musical heritage. Last but not least, you will learn the true story of the global movie classic
The Sound of Music's Trapp family, one of the authentically great refugee tales of the second world war.

We so enjoyed Salzburg. What a fabulous walking tour. Gabe was our guide and he was great. Very knowledgeable. He was very educational. We loved seeing the many beautiful churches. Highly recommend this tour.
This was just the two of us a very knowledgeable guide, Astrid. We thoroughly enjoyed the chance to explore the city on foot with an insider our guide grew up and lives here in fact, she biked to our appointment. Having the historical background then made the next few days much more meaningful and enjoyable. Money well spent.
