Well-organized two-hour tours pack Salzburg’s best sights into a perfect bite-sized experience. The most satisfying options are the private walking tours through the Old Town – they’re intimate and allow time to appreciate the city’s UNESCO treasures like the Cathedral, Residenz palace, and Mozart sites. I really love the photography tours that combine sightseeing with professional photos at the mighty Hohensalzburg Fortress – you’ll come away with great memories and even better pictures. For travelers heading to Munich or Vienna, the transfer tours are smart picks, letting you visit Dachau or pretty Hallstatt without losing a day. Let’s look at my favorite Salzburg tours that make the most of your precious vacation time.
