Things to do in Salzburg

I did this trip solo and would totally recommend it to anyone who's still deciding. Visiting three landmarks in one day was definitely worth it. The schedule felt a bit rushed, especially in Hallstatt, but overall it was still a great experience. The bus was comfortable, and our guide Olgo was nice, friendly, helpful, and did a great job explaining things and keeping everyone entertained.

Hallstatt is a charming and picturesque village that feels almost like a postcard brought to life. We visited Hallstatt on a one day tour organised by this tour agency, travelling by bus from Salzburg and back on Christmas Eve. We arrived at around 10.15 am, and just as we stepped off the bus, it began to snow. The gentle snowfall created a magical atmosphere and provided a stunning backdrop to the beautiful streets and lakeside views. The village itself is small and serene, with a main street that is not very long, making it easy to explore on foot. Shops and stalls were just starting to open, adding to the calm and unhurried charm of the morning. As it was a day trip with limited time, we did not manage to visit the salt mine, and the Skywalk was closed during our visit. Instead, we chose to slow down and enjoy the moment by spending some time in a cosy café, soaking in the views and the peaceful winter ambience.

I went to Vienna in October for a quick four-day trip, hoping to see Vienna, Hallstatt & Salzburg, and Bratislava. Man, was I wrong. I went home feeling bummed, so I went back to Vienna for the New Year for a whole week. I booked a tour group to Hallstatt and Salzburg, and it was awesome. We met at 7 am, and the bus left right on time at 7:02 am. Our tour guide, Oktavia, was just as great as my trip. She gave us coffee and biscuits on the bus. When we got to Hallstatt, she took a picture of each of us and even gave us a free printed copy! How sweet was that?! Oktavia knows her stuff too and she's great at what she's doing. I totally recommend this group tour. It's worth every penny.

We had an amazing day trip to Hallstatt, Melk Abbey, and Salzburg. Our driver, Jessin, was absolutely fantastic—friendly, professional, and very attentive throughout the journey. The ride was extremely comfortable, making the long day very enjoyable. Jessin even took us to an additional stop that was breathtakingly beautiful, which was a wonderful surprise and truly enhanced our experience. Communication was smooth and clear from start to finish, and we really appreciated the snacks and water provided along the way. There were also plenty of washroom breaks, which made the trip very comfortable and well-paced. Highly recommended—this day trip exceeded our expectations!

as a child who grew up watching The Sound of Music every so often with my cousins, seeing the sites and listening to the tracks of the film while on the bus amounted to an irreplaceable, memorable experience. thank you so much!! I felt so emotional singing along to my favorite The Sound of Music songs the entire trip.

The best and reliable guide. Punctual pick-up time. The guide was informative and able to explain briefly about Hallstatt. After Hallstatt, we also went to Wolfgangsee Lake. Great experienced with this service ✨

A must try. Visit the small beautiful town of Berchtesgadener

This is good value for the money. we had the 48 hour card and we're able to visit most of the attractions! We decided to claim the card at the Mozartplatz tourist info location instead of going back to the Salzburg Hbf as it is already within the tourist attractions. would definitely purchase again if we are to go back to Salzburg.

Very convenient exchange of the ticket at the counter. Very worth to watch the performance in the marble hall.
