We will be staying in Salzburg for 3 nights in early September with 2 full days to explore. We enjoy outdoor activities such as moderate hiking (no steep exposed ledges), mountain scenery and historical sites. We have previously been to Salzburg briefly and saw the Eagles Nest, the Hohensalzburg Fortress and Mozart's birthplace. We are interested in the Sound of Music Tour and possibly going to Halstatt, depending on the weather. Appreciate any suggestions you may have. Many thanks.

Kevin,
We went on the Panorama SoM tour this past June 2025 and LOVED it! I highly recommend it :)
4 of our 5 went to Halstatt and saw parts of it that were less crowded. We were warned that it would be pretty packed and it was!
But, one can always find an out-of-the-way spot or 2 and enjoy the beauty the town and lake has to offer.
3 of our 5 went to the Salt Mines and thought it was a great experience.
I just love Salzburg! Our favorite restaurant there is Die Wiesse and the Augustiner-Brau Biergarten is fun!
Prost!

I plan to take this tour when I’m in Salzburg next year:

If you prefer to do them separately, they have a 4 hour Sound of Music tour and an all day Hallstatt tour.
