Hello! We are traveling from Zurich to Salzburg on April 26, 2025. We have booked the concert at Mirabell Palace one evening. Are there any tours that are a must see/do in Salzburg? Bavarian Alps. Passing the old baroque city of Salzburg along the Salzach River we head towards the magnificent Alps crossing the German border. Following the Kings Lake-Ache, our journey takes you to Obersalzberg where the second headquarters of the Third Reich used to be? Everything looks magical. We are also considering a cooking class. We will be in Salzburg for 3 nights. We have Rick's Austria book. Thank you again for your help. Mary
Your trip sounds amazing! Definitely visit Hohensalzburg Fortress for incredible views, and the Eagles Nest in the Bavarian Alps is a must-see for history and scenery. A cooking class would be a fun way to experience local culture too! Enjoy your time in Salzburg!
Your post is a bit confusing as you seem to have copied and pasted a description of a Bavarian Alps tour?
I would definitely add in a Sound of Music tour and a visit to the Hellbrunn palace. With three nights, you likely also have time for a day trip to Hallstatt and/or the villages on the Wolfgangsee.
