Your Experience on the Salzburg Combo Tour

Make the most of your visit to Salzburg by joining a combo tour that pairs two of the city's best-loved experiences: an adventure inside Berchtesgaden’s fascinating salt mines and an afternoon journey through The Sound of Music’s film locations. Each element of your day is guided by an expert, ensuring you see the very best the region has to offer, with insightful stories, helpful tips and convenient transport throughout the day.

Explore the Berchtesgaden Salt Mine

Begin your morning traveling on the Alpenstrasse, passing striking mountain and river landscapes, all the way to the entrance of the Berchtesgaden salt mine—an impressive site with more than 500 years of history. After donning the traditional miner’s gear, board a mine train that carries you deep inside the mountain. This guided journey reveals the fascinating processes and history of salt mining in the region, and you will discover highlights such as the unique salt room, the immense Salt Cathedral and the thrill of the miners’ slide—a fun tradition for all visitors.

One of the highlights is a scenic raft ride across the mystical Mirror Lake, surrounded by stunning reflections and subterranean silence. After emerging from the underground wonders, you will have some free time to stroll around the charming Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden before the next chapter of your adventure.

Follow in the Footsteps of The Sound of Music

In the afternoon, journey through Salzburg’s landscapes made unforgettable by The Sound of Music. Your guide leads you to iconic locations from the classic musical, starting with the beautiful Mirabell Gardens, where the famous "Do-Re-Mi" sequence was filmed, and Nonnberg Abbey, known from the opening scenes. Continue to Leopoldskron Palace and the stunning Salzburg Lake District. The tour also visits Hellbrunn Palace and the renowned gazebo associated with pivotal scenes from the movie.

As you explore, your guide shares stories, facts and behind-the-scenes details about the film’s production, offering a unique perspective and answering all your questions about the Trapp family and their journey. Make sure to capture photos at each picturesque site and soak in the views of the Austrian countryside.
