Opposite this large statue representing Pegasus, it is the Mirabell Castle that is available to you. It was built in 1606 at the request of the Prince-Archbishop of the city, Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, who wanted to offer his beloved a beautiful residence for her and their children.
On this bridge that crosses the Salzach, you have a breathtaking view of the famous Salzburg Fortress, the Hohensalzburg Fortress.
You will pass along the waters of the Salzach, the river that flows through Salzburg in its centre. At 226 km long, it is the main river in the Land of Salzburg.
As you walk along the Salzach, let me tell you an old story that earned Salzburgers the nickname “bull washers”. We are in the Middle Ages, and during this period, as you know, it was customary to try to conquer cities to enlarge his kingdom.
Here we are again in the historic centre of Salzburg, fully classified as a UNESCO heritage site! Here you are in the Getreidegasse, certainly one of the most beautiful streets in the city.
One of the highlights of the street Getreidegasse, in addition to its incomparable charm and its shops ideal for a Shopping trip, is undoubtedly this colorful house, so yellow that you can hardly miss it.
A short break in the visit to discover the history of the one nicknamed the “Rome of the Alps”. Salzburg, the city of Austria and capital of the Land of the same name, is a metropolis with a rich history.
It is a beautiful green setting that looms before you as you arrive in the Mirabell Gardens. They belong, not surprisingly, to the Mirabell Castle which is a little further away.
Here you are in a courtyard that is important in Salzburg. The long walls surrounding it belong to St. Peter’s Abbey, the oldest in the entire German-speaking area, i.e. Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

The guide that was sent to me was an audio guide. I am English, the guide came in French. I distinctly remember saying my language was English.
Hello WILLIAM, I apologize for the frustration you experienced with the language settings. As advertised, the tour is indeed fully available in English. However, the application defaults to French upon entering your access code. To switch the language, you simply need to go to the Settings menu (the gear icon) and select English, even if it already appears to be selected. Tapping it forces the application to refresh and properly load all the correct audio and text files. I am very sorry if this step was not clear enough and prevented you from enjoying your tour in Salzburg. Please note that for any assistance needed during your activities, you can contact us directly via the booking platform's internal messaging system. Georges
The application is easy to use and, above all, you are not stressed by a specific appointment time with a guide. There are certainly corners of the city that we would not have seen without the application. I will most certainly use it again for other destinations.
Read the pdf that you download. That tells you the app. The last sentence gives you your access code
