THE GUIDE

Personalized local guiding from a central pickup

A local guide meets you at a central point of your choice—hotel, train station, or other central location—and leads a curated walking route tailored to your preferences while sharing the stories behind Salzburg’s signature dishes.

THE TASTINGS

Five signature tastings that map the city’s flavors

The tour includes five tastings: Austrian tapas at Sternbräu; the original Mozartkugel at Fürst; a spirits or liqueur stop (or two scoops of artisanal ice cream) at Sporer or Atzwanger; a personalized tasting chosen for your group; and a final Salzburger Nockerl.

THE SIGHTS

Historic streets and hidden courtyards between bites

Between tastings you’ll pass Salzburg’s notable landmarks and quieter corners—the route threads through Old Town and Neustadt, taking in places such as Mirabell Palace and its gardens alongside tucked‑away courtyards as context for the city’s culinary traditions.
