You’ll jump on the train for a two-hour scenic journey through the Bavarian countryside, returning to Munich at approximately 7pm.

Stunning scenery

You’ll want to keep your camera at the ready, as you stroll along the picturesque Salzach River, and enjoy the views of the stunning alps. For Sound of Music fans, you’ll visit the Mirabell Palace Gardens, home to some of the musical’s most famous scenes, as well as seeing the impressive Salzburg Cathedral, where Salzburg native Mozart was baptized.

Take an orientation tour and then explore on your own

What is a Select Tour?

 

Select Tours focus on a particular area or district of a city, a certain aspect of its history or culture, or take you outside the city on a day trip. Select Tours are perfect for those who have enjoyed an introduction to the city and wish to delve deeper into the stories the city has to offer. These tours often venture further afield and make use of local public transport.

As with the Free Tour, Select Tours are provided by local freelance guides in partnership with SANDEMANs NEW Europe, who bring their personal flair and expert knowledge to these specifically themed tours. Select tours have a fixed ticket price - we recommend purchasing your ticket in advance, either during a Free Tour or online.
