A Day in Salzburg – Tour from Munich

It is the home town of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the greatest composers of classical music. Take a trip to his birthplace, his residence, the streets he walked and the cafes he drank in.

Salzburg is also one of the most popular ‘movie tourism’ destinations in the world for one simple reason – The Sound of Music.
