The Best Things to Do in Salzburg

We didn't go inside but visited the gardens. Gardens were beautiful with chairs to sit on to enjoy the view. Sometimes it can feel crowded particularly when lots of tour groups comes through at the same time but definitely worth a visit. For those who are big fans of sound of music - I would highly recommend.

Amazing palace complex in Salzburg, Austria. Me and my parents stopped by here while on an Alpine tour. Although we were not able to enter the actual palace, we were able to go around the gardens that were made famous for being in the 1965 film The Sound of Music. We saw many beautiful statues and flower arrangements in the garden alongside several couples taking photos. We also got to go on the steps where the famous “Do-Re-Mi” sequence happened. Overall it was a good visit.

Absolutely beautiful! Wonderful place to sit and relax. We went with my Dad who is handicap. The only place he could get in with his wheelchair was the main gate. My kids got bored because there was nothing for them to do.

Beautiful castle that's right by the gardens - entry is free, and best spot is from the west side. There's an entry to some large corridors - if you find your way around, you can go up to the 2nd level where you can see some of the larger rooms and set-ups. The tile work is truly amazing.

Beautiful gardens in the heart of Salzburg. Great place to spend an afternoon under the trees, have a little picnic and for Hard-core Sound of Music fans shoot their own version of Do-Re-Mi Go late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and the place transforms even more

We recently visited this stunning castle to attend a Mozart concert. The venue itself was stunning, with breathing taking architecture at every turn. The gardens themselves were gorgeous as well, with a few scenes being shot there for the Sound of Music. It was a wonderful experience.

We had planned to go on a Sunday but then realized that the palace it's not open that day. It currently houses the Salzburg mayor's office and (presumably as a result) the full building is not open to the public. However, you can enter the building without a ticket and the gardens are certainly free to visit. So all of the tours offering to take you here for "only $$ per person" are basically ripping you off. The limited places we did see inside the building were interesting and fun to imagine what life might have been like there in the 1700s or 1800s. But the exterior/gardens are the best part of the Palace in my opinion. It can be crowded, so getting there early is probably your best bet. Be sure to check out the dwarf garden with its interesting statues.

Gorgeous gardens with beautiful flowers, Pegasus fountain & mythology-themed statues and four groups of sculpture Aeneas, Hercules, Paris and Pluto and also other interesting sculptures. Go early in the morning to avoid tourist crowds. There will be tourists from the hop on hop off buses that will fill the area around 10am
