Salzburg and Alpine Lakes Tour from Vienna

• See top sights—Mirabell Palace, the Mozart Residence, and St. Peter’s Abbey

• Stop in St. Gilgen and Mondsee for unparalleled views of their Alpine lakes

• Hassle-free hotel pickup and drop-off—from Central Vienna—is included

At your centrally located Vienna hotel, board an air-conditioned minivan destined for the rolling hills of Salzburg. During the 3-hour drive, your guide points out particularly scenic spots and provides an overview of Salzburg — the birthplace of Mozart and Austria’s capital of classical music. Salzburg’s Mirabell Palace and Gardens, and its grand cathedral make for a visual treat: admire the architectural highlights on a guided tour and see, too, the Mozart Residence, the birthplace of the legendary composer, and St. Peter’s Abbey (Stift Sankt Peter). Then, enjoy free time in Salzburg and opt to visit the filming locations of ‘The Sound of Music’ by taking the funicular to Hohensalzburg Moutnain. After reconvening with your guide, you’ll proceed to the Salzkammergut lake region: absorb the natural splendor of St. Wolfgang Lake in St. Gilgen and then head to the village of Mondsee to discover the legends that surround Mondsee Lake. Your tour concludes with drop-off in central Vienna, in front of the Hotel Astoria.
