Schloss Mirabell & Mirabellgarten
Mirabell Garden and Palace represent the quintessence of Salzburg. The garden is a living gallery of art and history, offering more than just beautiful landscapes. Each statue in the garden holds a story steeped in mythology and symbolism, creating a unique narrative experience. The Dwarf Garden, one of the oldest outdoor music venues in Europe, adds to the garden's enchantment. The garden's design follows the principles of Baroque architecture, transforming the space into a utopia. One iconic feature of the garden is the Do-Re-Mi steps, a famous location from "The Sound of Music," perfect for memorable photos. The tour concludes at the Mirabell Palace, home to the city government, and features a grand staircase leading to the majestic Marble Hall. Adorned with cherubs and baroque decorations, the staircase sets the tone for the Marble Hall. Once the prince archbishop's ballroom, it is now one of the world's most beautiful wedding venues, echoing past grandeur and royal festivities.

Absolutely perfect start to our few days in Salzburg. Birgit was both lovely and well informed and as well as explaining some of the history of the city pointed out many of its interesting sights. She gave us lots of ideas of what else to visit whilst we’re here. We’ve already sampled the beer at the Augustinian Brewery and attended a superb concert at the Mirabell Palace and this morning are heading out this morning to pick up a Salzburg Card to visit the castle and other places of interest! Thanks for setting up our visit so brilliantly. Highly recommended!
