★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,547 reviews · 9h 30m · from $93Our pick

Munich to Salzburg by train for Mozart and Sound of Music highlights, Domkirche Cathedral, Old Town wandering, and optional Festung Hohensalzburg.

“Salzburg was a very beautiful city and we had a wonderful time exploring it. Our guide Markus was very engaging and made sure we got everywhere we needed to go safely and efficiently. We had a fun time visiting the fortress during the free hours, as well as stopping by the restaurant Markus pointed out while we were outside Mozart’s birthplace. The guided tour was fun as well, with Markus highlighting points of interest and even taking us through little alleyways filled with delightful sights and smells. It was really a lovely way to spend a day.”

“We were met by the driver just as we hopped off the train which was very helpful in a place we visit for the first time, the driver also helped with the luggage. The minibus was not in a great condition as expected for the price paid since the hotel is only a few minutes drive from the rail station. But anyhow better that trying to get a taxi.”
