DESCRIPTION
Your unforgettable Musical Tour to Salzburg begins in the idyllic scenery of the Austrian Alps.

Furthermore, you will enjoy the fresh air in the Hellbrunn Park, where the famous Gazebo has been still keeping the secret of the first Liesl’s kiss. You will also see the Nonnberg nonnery. It is one of the oldest nonneries in Europe that became famous because of the voice of Maria Kutschera. Later her story served as inspiration for the Sound of Music movie.
