Mirabell Palace & Garden

7.3
4.6/5
289 reviews
Mirabell Palace & Garden is located on the north bank of the Salzach River in Salzburg. Built in 1606 by Archbishop Dietrich for his lover Salome and their children, the palace was later renamed "Mirabell" by his successor. Today, it serves as the office of Salzburg's municipal authorities. The iconic scene from the movie The Sound of Music, where Maria and the children sing "Do-Re-Mi," was filmed by the garden's steps and fountain. The palace suffered a fire in 1818, with the marble staircase leading to the garden and the marble hall being among the surviving parts. The staircase is adorned with cherubs sculpted by Baroque artist Donner, each holding clouds in playful and endearing poses. The marble hall once echoed with the piano melodies of the young Mozart and is now a popular wedding venue, also frequently used for concerts and other events. The garden features a typical Baroque layout: statues of Greek and Roman mythological figures flank the entrance, while the central Pegasus fountain is surrounded by sculptures symbolizing the four elements. The green hedge theater at the rear, enclosed by neatly trimmed hedges, dates back to the early 18th century. The dwarf garden boasts a group of whimsically exaggerated stone gnomes, said to be modeled after real court figures. Unicorn sculptures scattered throughout add a fairy-tale charm to the solemn Baroque scenery. Climb the steps to the rose hill for a view of Salzburg Fortress on the opposite riverbank. The garden is adorned mainly with flower beds, hedges, and roses, making it especially delightful to visit during warmer seasons.Salzburg · 12.2 km from Marktschellenberg

Salzburg Castle is located on the Monk Hill in the old town of Salzburg and is the landmark building of the city. This white castle fortress has a very long history. It was built in 1077 and was gradually expanded by successive archbishops. There are museums and cafes in the castle, and it is also a good place to overlook the scenery of the whole city. When you enter the Salzburg Fortress, the first thing that catches your eye is the inner courtyard of the castle. The surrounding walls of the inner courtyard form a natural viewing platform. Before entering the castle, you may stop here for a while and overlook the scenery of the small town below the mountain. Audio guides (including Chinese) can be rented at the ticket office at the entrance. Because most of the exhibitions in the fortress are marked in German, it is recommended to rent one for sightseeing. The inner courtyard of the castle leads to the golden hall of the bishop. It is made of 4 huge marble columns and decorated very ornately. It used to be the place where the archbishop held major religious ceremonies. Going up the stairs, we came to the monarch's bedroom at that time. These resplendent bedrooms are as restored as possible to the furnishings of the year. The locks of all the cabinets are made of gold-plated, shining like the stars in the night sky. In addition, the fortress grain storehouse located underground can store food for a thousand soldiers for one year. If you are interested in the military, you can also visit the military museum in the castle, where various weapons and armors from the medieval period are displayed. The Torture Instrument Museum displays various torture instruments used to interrogate prisoners and prisoners. In addition, there are various small museums showing medieval life forms such as the Witch Doctor Exhibition Hall for viewing. The Muppets Museum The Muppets Museum is one of the highlights of the Salzburg Fortress. This museum is located in the basement and displays the marionettes used in the puppet theater, including the one that appeared in The Magic Flute. Papageno figures and figures from Amadeus. Here, you can not only see many lifelike puppets, but also have the opportunity to operate the actual puppets. There will be puppet theater performances at a fixed time every week, and tickets must be purchased separately. The specific time and ticket price can be checked at the puppet museum. After the Castle Museum, you can visit the Castle Museum, which introduces the history of the castle, weapons, handicrafts, judicial development and some history related to Salzburg. In the audio-visual room, you can sit quietly and enjoy the sound and light show about the past and present of Salzburg. There is an open-air cafe in the castle fortress, where you can enjoy the surrounding scenery while enjoying the aroma of coffee.Salzburg · 11 km from Marktschellenberg

Mirabell Palace and Garden is one of the most beautiful attractions in Salzburg. The palace is elegant and full of charm, with lovely architecture and a rich history that reflects the city’s cultural heritage. I enjoyed walking through the gardens, especially the colorful flower beds, neatly trimmed hedges, and graceful fountains. The famous marble statues and the view toward the fortress made the visit even more memorable. The palace itself was also impressive, with its refined rooms and peaceful atmosphere. Overall, Mirabell Palace and Garden offers a wonderful mix of beauty, history, and relaxation. It is a must-visit for anyone exploring Salzburg, and I would gladly visit again.

Fortress Hohensalzburg is one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved medieval castles, majestically overlooking Salzburg from Festungsberg hill. Built in the 11th century, it offers stunning panoramic views of the city, the Salzach River, and the surrounding Alps. Inside, visitors can explore fascinating museums, grand state rooms, and historical artifacts that showcase centuries of Austrian heritage. The fortress can be reached by a funicular or a scenic uphill walk. Its medieval architecture, towers, and courtyards create an unforgettable atmosphere. Whether you visit for history, photography, or the breathtaking scenery, Fortress Hohensalzburg is a true highlight of Salzburg and Austria.

Salzburg, the second largest city in Austria, is a veritable city of music. It is the hometown of Mozart. We visited Mozart's ancient residence and the Sculpture Square. The children here often hold various music-related activities.

Mozart's birthplace, Mozart House, Mozart Cafe in Salzburg... Everything is Mozart. Haha. Just Mozart alone is enough to feed a city for a lifetime! Mozart's handwritten scores, clothes, etc. are on display in the birthplace and house, so you can meet Mozart from far and near.^^

Salzburg Cathedral is located in the center of the old town. It is an Italian-style church. I really like the reliefs and murals inside the church. They are very delicate and luxurious, which makes people feel moved and amazed.

D23 Schönau-King's Lake-Ramsau-Back Lake-Stay in Lofersalach Valley King's Lake is located 5 kilometers south of Berchtesgaden, a small town on the border between Germany and Austria. It is known as the most beautiful lake in Germany. It is named after the shape of the surrounding peaks, such as the peaks symbolizing the king and queen, their children and the witch peak lying down. It is the deepest lake in Germany, with a maximum depth of 200 meters. Surrounded by mountains, the lake water is clear, and there is no pollution in the lake when electric boats travel. Wandering by boat, on the cliffs of the "Echo Wall", is a famous program for cruise ships: the captain blows the trumpet facing the cliff, and the echo can be clearly heard, and then takes the hat to collect tips. St. Bartholomew's Chapel is a landmark on the west bank of the Hirschau Peninsula of King's Lake. It has a unique shape and is known as a representative of the Baroque style. Go to the pier at the south end of the lake and then go forward to the upper lake. The lake is not big, but the color is comparable to the Five Flower Sea in Jiuzhaigou! The southern end of the upper lake is a pasture, and there are many swimmers who are not afraid of the cold by the lake! The dreamy colors can only be explained by pictures!

Stunning views, rich history, and a surreal feeling of standing above the clouds. The Eagle’s Nest in Berchtesgaden offers a powerful mix of nature and past. Whether you go for the scenery or the story, it’s unforgettable. Don’t miss the panoramic terrace and the hike if weather allows. #EaglesNestGermany#Berchtesgaden#Kehlsteinhaus#GermanyTravel#HistoricViews#BavarianAlps#MountainEscape

Qianliang Hutong is a small alley in the center of Salzburg. Mozart's birthplace is on this alley. In addition, the second floors of the buildings on both sides of the alley are hung with various signs, which should be the more distinctive feature of this alley. The alley is neither wide nor long, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to walk slowly. There are still mainly various shops on both sides. Of course, the famous Austrian Swarovski also has a branch here, and Salzburg's tax refund point is also near this alley.
