Spend about four hours seeing Salzburg from the Salzach River and Hohensalzburg Fortress.

Choose standard or VIP dinner, with smart-casual dress required.

“Overall it was a great opportunity to see Salzburg from the river, eat some good food and enjoy some Mozart. What I didn’t understand is why they couldn’t have had a guide because it was at times confusing going from 1 part of the city to another. I certainly don’t think a guide was necessary for the entire trip but perhaps this company could provide at least as t a YouTube video explaining everything so to make this a more cohesive experience.
