Once again this year, those who take to the water will be able to experience Salzburg from an unusual perspective. The Amadeus Salzburg panoramic speedboat offers guests exceptional views of the city and its surroundings as it cruises along the Salzach.

Ship cruise on the Salzach

Tour 1: The trip starts at the 'Marko-Feingold-Steg' bridge directly in Salzburg's Old Town. The eight-kilometre route takes you along the river towards Hellbrunn, with a view of the Old Town and the mountain ranges around Salzburg and back

Tour 2: It starts like tour 1 and goes a few minutes further to the Hellbrunn landing stage. From there, a shuttle takes you in just four minutes on a historic London Double Decker bus to the fabulously situated baroque palace in Hellbrunn with its world-famous trick fountains and the enchanting pavilion from the film The Sound of Music.

Tour 3: This tour is another highlight, which in addition to the boat trip and the four-minute ride on the London Double Decker bus also includes a visit to the world-famous trick fountains and Hellbrunn palace. After your visit, the London Double Decker bus will take you back to the starting point, the landing stage at Marko-Feingold Pier.

Ship: The "Amadeus Salzburg" has 80 seats (with outside deck).
