Set against a backdrop of Alpine scenery, this tour combines music, history, and architecture with a relaxed and refined pace.
Your day begins with private pickup from Munich, Berchtesgaden, Salzburg, or nearby regions. As you travel through Bavarian and Austrian countryside, rolling hills give way to Alpine landscapes, offering a scenic introduction to the region that has shaped Salzburg’s identity for centuries.
