Walking tour ' Best of Arts'

Experience Salzburg's uniqueness - architecture - music and art - a universal language


Short and entertaining city tour of the old town (75 min) expandable to the exciting and unique Salzburg overall concept for a small surcharge.

Note our special conditions for groups (up to 25 people per guide) as well as small groups and families.

Experience the heart of the world-famous old town of Salzburg in its most essential meaning, getting to know the UNESCO WORLD CULTURAL HERITAGE as it was once conceived. The heart of the city of Salzburg warns, calls for action. Timeless, humanistic and universal. This event perfectly prepares you for the upcoming organ experience and your visit to Salzburg.
It focuses on the representative part of the Prince-Archbishop's city around the Cathedral Forum (now also referred to as the "Domquartier"), its surrounding monasteries, as well as the thriving world of a highly active Salzburg population.

The native Salzburg cultural scientist intertwines the characteristic aspects of Salzburg's cultural history with various auditory experiences during this tour, allowing you to momentarily experience the soothing rhythm inherent in Salzburg's architecture and its specific sound world.

All further details and important information can be found on the organizer's website Kultur Tourismus Salzburg.

According to your choice, you can enjoy not only the tour in the heart of the old town for € 15, but also experience it as a one-time overall concept in Salzburg.
