Salzburg, city of Mozart

Trade Munich’s buzz for the soft rise of the foothills: the drive skirts Lake Chiemsee, crosses the Austrian border with no formalities, and in under two hours Salzburg’s UNESCO Old Town appears. Baroque facades frame St. Peter’s cemetery, Fischer von Erlach’s dome anchors the skyline, and Hohensalzburg Fortress watches from 506 m. Step into the Hagenauer house at 9 Getreidegasse for Mozart’s birthplace, wander Mirabell’s 17th‑century geometry, and follow the Salzach as it splits Altstadt from Neustadt.

Here’s the rhythm: pickup at your Munich hotel, a Mercedes at your disposal all day, and your dedicated driver in Salzburg smoothing timing and access while you tour, taste, and take photos. Coffee at Café Tomaselli (1703), elevator up to the Mönchsberg for an alpine outlook, funicular to Hohensalzburg in 54 seconds, then schnitzel or Kasnocken near Kaigasse for lunch. We return along the Salzach valley, with a weather‑dependent detour to Berchtesgaden or Lake Fuschl if you wish.
