Overview

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.

Wonderful walking tour through old town with Lisa. Lisa shows her excitement and love for Salzburg in all her descriptions walking through old town. She was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable! I highly recommend this tour.

We wanted a brief walking tour to introduce us to Salzburg and this was perfect. Liza was the sweetest person and did a great job of working with our small group (4 people) to understand what we wanted to see.

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.
