Explore the beautiful Baroque gardens and the palace that was once the home of Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich and his family. Enjoy walking on the Pegasus fountain, dwarf garden, hedge theater, and rose garden within the Mirabell Castle.
Visit Hellbrunn Palace and explore its beautiful Baroque building, park, and trick fountains. These fountains are hidden surprises that soak and amuse visitors with their unique water plays. The palace houses the world's earliest-known games collections, and the giant lawn chess board is open to the public.
Salzburg is best explored on foot, but if you need to travel long distances or have limited time, take a bus, train or taxi. The Salzburg Card includes free use of public transportation and free admission to many Salzburg attractions. The 24-hour card for adults is EUR 29, and for children aged 6-15 years, it is EUR 14.50.
If you have more time, visit St Peter's Abbey and Cemetery, Salzburg Zoo, or the Fortress Hohensalzburg. For a break, try Mozartkugels from the Mirabell Cafe, beer or cider from the Augustiner Bräu, or eat a traditional Austrian dish from Zipfer Bierhaus. If you have less time, consider skipping the Hellbrunn Palace and Trick Fountains and go straight to the Old City and Fortress Hohensalzburg.
