No. 13 of Best Things to Do in Austria

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.

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.

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, Austria is the birthplace of Mozart. The Mozart family lived on the third floor of 9 Gertred Street in Salzburg from 1747 to 1773, and Mozart himself was born here on January 27, 1756. Mozart's father was a musician of the Salzburg Royal Chamber Music, and the most famous Mozart was his father's seventh child.

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.

When you come to Salzburg, Mozart's hometown, you must pay homage to Mozart. In fact, here is just like China, people make their living by the mountains and rivers, and celebrities make their money by being famous. In Salzburg, you don't have to go anywhere to find Mozart, Mozart is really everywhere. Mozart chocolate, Mozart toy souvenirs, as long as they can be made into the shape of Mozart, they are sold everywhere. However, this Mozart Square has existed before. Unlike most musicians and artists who became famous after their death, Mozart was treated well before his death.

The Hallein Salt Mine, located on the German-Austrian border, has a mining history of more than 400 years. You can change into miner's clothes, take a miner's wooden bench train down the mine, cross the German-Austrian border underground, take a boat trip to the brine lake, go down the long wooden slide, and watch mining introductions and movies. It is a perfect and rich European salt mining history. It is very beneficial to experience it.
