Top Experiences in Salzburg Old Market (Alter Markt)

Have you already packed your bags or are you still planning your trip to Salzburg? Good decision, Salzburg is a city with many beautiful churches, fountains and hills! And this is where the brilliant Mozart was born. This city was ruled by prince archbishops for many centuries, which makes the history of the city particularly interesting. Historic buildings meet modern art here. Let me show it to you! Together we will visit the magnificent Mirabell Gardens, stroll through the Getreidegasse, famous for its beauty, admire beautiful churches and much more.

The Nuns & Nazis Tour is about the Second World War in Salzburg. Salzburg is unique because we are famous for a feel-good movie set in one of the darkest times in Europe. On this tour, we will not go into general history, because that is what the Free Walking Tour is for, but we will dive deep into World War II, as well as the history of the Trapp family and the story of the movie that was made about them. Traces of the Nazi era can still be found in Salzburg today, and in fact, your guide Leo’s family history is influenced by World War II. That is why he offers this tour.
