EXPLORING SALZBURG & SALZBURG FESTIVAL (B):

This morning our Tour Leader, Graham Abbott, adds to our pleasure of this evening’s performance with an informative talk about the music we will hear.

Following our morning talk, we set out on a guided walking tour of Salzburg to begin our exploration of this fascinating city. Located between the Salzach River and the surrounding mountains, the Old Town is rich in buildings from medieval times to the 20th-century, including many examples of beautiful gothic and baroque architecture. It is an attractive and historically important area which has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our tour ends at the ancient Benedictine Abbey of St Peter, the oldest monastery with a continuous history since its foundation in 696. The present-day Romanesque abbey church at the northern foot of the Mönchsberg, a hill in the centre of Salzburg, was erected from about 1130 onwards.

Time is allowed to explore the ancient Benedictine Abbey of St Peter independently following our walking tour.

In the evening, we attend our first performance in the prestigious Salzburg Festival.

We enjoy a guided tour through its spacious, landscaped grounds, which feature the unique and entertaining Wasserspiele (trick fountains). Time is then allowed to explore the Palace grounds further, and to pick up a light lunch in the beautiful grounds.

We then return to Salzburg for a free afternoon ahead of this evening’s performance.

You might take the opportunity to head to the top of the Mönchsberg for a visit to Hohensalzburg Fortess, one of Europe’s best preserved and largest medieval castles. You can reach the castle via a 1-minute trip in the FestungsBahn (the funicular railway) or a rather steep 15-minute walk from the base of the mountain.

DAY TRIP TO KÖNIGSSEE & SALZBURG FESTIVAL (B):

Following our morning talk on the music with Graham, we depart Salzburg for the scenic drive across the Austrian border into Germany, to the serene and stunning Königssee. Lake Königssee, with its emerald green colour, nestled at the foot of the imposing eastern wall of Mount Watzmann, is one of nature's true masterpieces. On arrival, we board one of the small electric boats for the peaceful crossing to St Bartholomew’s Church. Silence is requested from the captain, and on the way, the boatman plays his trumpet to lure out the world-famous Königssee echo from the steep rock face.

We depart our boat at the 17th-century Church of St Bartholomew, a pilgrimage spot which is renowned for its wine-red onion domes set against the backdrop of the Watzmann Mountains. Time is allowed to look inside the church and to stroll around the peaceful walking tracks, taking in the incredible views on offer. There is also a snack shack and a restaurant here for an independent lunch with a view.

If you are looking to spend a little more time exploring Salzburg, you might like to visit Mozart’s Birthplace, located in the heart of Salzburg’s Old Town.

On arrival, we will enjoy a short guided walking tour of the historic sights in the centre of the Old Town, along with an introduction to the history of this Tyrolean city.

After our guided tour, time is allowed for an independent lunch, before we continue on our way to the Vorarlberg and the Alpine village of Mellau. The Vorarlberg region is located in the westernmost part of Austria, nestled between Lake Constance and the Alps, neighbouring Germany, Switzerland and the principality of Liechtenstein. This small, picturesque region is known for its culture, food and stunning natural scenery.

On arrival, we check in to our comfortable hotel which will be our base for the next five nights, Hotel die Wälderin.

Time is allowed to freshen up and get acquainted with our new base, and in the early evening we depart for the nearby village of Schwarzenberg for the first of our eight performances at the 2025 Schwarzenberg Schubertiade.

For the Schwarzenberg Schubertiade, the performances take place in the beautiful Angelika Kauffmann Hall.
