Salzburg Sightseeing: Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour

About this experience

Book Salzburg hop-on hop-off bus tickets and explore Mozart's birthplace and the city made famous by The Sound of Music. Choose a 24, 48 or 72 hour pass and ride a route with 10 stops, with buses every 30 to 45 minutes. As well as an audio guide in 13 languages, your pass includes a special commentary on the trail of The Sound of Music, free rides on selected city buses and free Wi-Fi. What can you see on the Salzburg bus route? The route starts at Mirabellplatz, by Mirabell Palace with its fountains and garden paths. It continues to stops such as Hanusch-Platz, close to the shopping streets of the old town, and Herbert-von-Karajan-Platz, near the city's famous performance venues. With 10 stops in total, you can hop off to explore Salzburg's historic centre, visit museums or simply enjoy a coffee, and then rejoin a later bus. Buses come by every 30 to 45 minutes, so you never have long to wait. The audio guide tells the story of the city and its famous musical history as you ride, and the separate Sound of Music commentary points out places linked to the film. What is included with your ticket? Every pass includes unlimited hop-on hop-off travel for 24, 48 or 72 hours and an audio guide in German, English, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Czech, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Arabic. You also get audio commentary on the trail of the film The Sound of Music in English or Spanish, free Wi-Fi, and a free ticket for selected city buses in Zone S and on lines 25 and 151. A McArthur Glen Golden Pass gives you offers and discounts at the Designer Outlet Salzburg. How do you board? Your voucher is emailed to you straight after booking. There is no need to print it: show the mobile voucher to the driver and collect your bus ticket. The main stop is at Mirabellplatz 2. After that, hop on and off at any of the 10 stops for as long as your pass is valid. Important things to know Food and drinks are not allowed on the bus. Please note that the bus is not wheelchair or pram accessible. Infants must sit on your lap, as extra seats are not provided. The free city bus ticket is a handy extra: use lines 25 and 151 to reach places beyond the sightseeing route, such as the Designer Outlet. A 48 or 72 hour pass gives you time to combine the city with a day trip into the mountains without losing value. If you only have one day, ride the full loop first, then return to the old town and Mirabell Gardens for a longer walk. Salzburg's weather can change quickly, so bring a light rain jacket. Make more of your Salzburg visit Film fans can join the Original Sound of Music Tour from Salzburg. In the evening, enjoy a classical concert in the Marble Hall of Mirabell Palace, and for a day in the mountains, try the skip-the-line Eagle's Nest tour.
