Highlights

IMPORTANT: NO PALACE ENTRANCE INCLUDED OR NEEDED. This is an OUTDOOR ONLY walking tour of the gardens and exteriors. How It Works No human tour guide is needed (tourguide)—this is a self-guided audio tour. You use your own smartphone to navigate and listen. No app download is required! Please note again: Inside palace tickets are not included, as this specific route focuses purely on the magnificent grounds! Step Back in Time Hellbrunn was built four hundred years ago for one reason: fun. This audio walk gives you the full Hellbrunn experience in one go — the trick fountains, the Sound of Music gazebo, a water-powered Mechanical Theatre, and a quiet path through parkland to a stunning hilltop view over Salzburg. A must-do when you want to see it all in a single walk, with no extra tickets or entrance fees along the way. Tour Details * Duration: 1h walking, 30m audio * Stops: 8 * Languages: EN, DE

Itinerary

  1. The courtyard of Schloss Hellbrunn, a sunshine-yellow Baroque pleasure palace. This gravel courtyard of honour is your no-cost gateway to Hellbrunn's world-famous water games, the playful trick fountains hidden just beyond.

    10 min

  2. A modest glass gazebo tucked into Hellbrunn's park, this is the world famous pavilion from The Sound of Music. Freely viewable in the open air, it is pure cinematic magic for fans from every continent.

    10 min

  3. Schloss Emslieb is a small private Renaissance manor standing right along the historic Hellbrunner Allee, the finest of the noble houses that line the avenue. Built in 1618 for a nephew of Hellbrunn's founder Markus Sittikus, it was designed as a miniature echo of an Italian villa on Lake Como. You admire its elegant facade for free from the public avenue, but it remains private property, so the view is enjoyed from the outside only.

    10 min

  4. A glassy water parterre of broad ponds and a square island reached by little bridges, ringed by reflections of the palace and the wooded hill.

    10 min

  5. The hilltop folklore-museum lodge that crowns the walk with a sweeping, ticket-free Stadtblick back over the park toward Salzburg's towers, fortress and mountains. From its terrace you can take in almost the whole free playground you have just explored.

    10 min

About Salzburg

Salzburg, birthplace of Mozart, is a baroque city on the Salzach River beneath a hilltop fortress, with the Alps at its edge.

The old town, on the left bank of the Salzach, is a UNESCO World Heritage site of baroque church domes, narrow lanes and arcaded courtyards, built on the salt trade and presided over by the Hohensalzburg Fortress. Mozart was born in 1756 in a yellow house on Getreidegasse, now a museum, while Residenzplatz and Domplatz hold the cathedral and the palaces of the prince-archbishops.

Top-ranked sights in Salzburg: Mirabell Palace and Gardens (Schloss Mirabell und Mirabellgarten), Hellbrunn Palace (Schloss Hellbrunn), Nonnberg Abbey (Stift Nonnberg).
