SALZBURG
Salzburg's shortlist.
The 8 Cruises & Boat Tours that show up first when travellers compare options for Salzburg. Each one with the operator, the price, and what the morning actually feels like.
40-minute Salzach River boat ride for $20, with live commentary, Old Town skyline views, mountain panoramas, and optional Prosecco.
“Great guide/ captain. Engaging & entertaining, multi tasking like a boss. Friendly efficient welcome desk. The queue system might have been better managed & the boat was hot so opening more windows could help. Good value for money”
Cruise the Salzach, dine high at Hohensalzburg Fortress, then hear Best of Mozart chamber works in fortress halls for a smart-casual evening.
“We were a group of 12. Weather wasn’t great but the skipper on the boat was both informative & funny. The dinner was very good (classic menu) & then the concert was a fantastic way to round off our trip to Salzburg. Everyone enjoyed themselves so much. Definitely recommend this..”
Cruise the Salzach to Hellbrunn, then enjoy Schloss Hellbrunn and priority trick fountains, with a London-style double-decker bus transfer.
“The boat ride itself is kind of lacking, and not as much as a tour as I thought as more of a short ride to where the bus brings you to the palace. The palace itself is nice and the trick fountains are a great, unique, adventure for an afternoon. The double-decker bus driver was…”
Salzburg by night with a Salzach river cruise, fortress dinner at Hohensalzburg, and a Mozart concert in the Golden Hall.
“There is a lot of walking in a lot of stairs, which was not explained in the tor information We had VIP tickets, but did not get the premier seating on the boat nor a free drink on the boat like other people Only included the free drink at the concert - which is not…”
40-minute English Salzach cruise with live narration, Alpine ridge views, and a fun boat dance. Great Salzburg overview for $24.
“Crew were friendly and the overall experience was memorable. The trip started on time. The ground staff managed the trip very well.”
Salzburg from the water to Hellbrunn Palace, with fast-track trick fountains, an audio guide, and double-decker bus transfers in 2.5 hours.
“Hellbrunn Palace is great a lot of fun. I recommend it. The boat trip was fine. Only complaint was the size of the group for the tour at the palace. It was much too large to easily hear the guide. It seemed that groups were combined since we were probably a little bit late arriving.…”
Cruise the Salzach river in Salzburg, then ride up to Fortress Hohensalzburg for a Best of Mozart concert, with funicular rides included.
“I booked a river cruise & best of Mozart fortress concert. The information I received indicates overall activity is a total 2hours, starting at 4:00pm, and I thought would be finishing at 6:00pm. I had no idea that the concert was going to start at 8:00pm. Which we couldn’t attend because we had to catch…”
Mozart in Salzburg at Festung Hohensalzburg plus a Salzach River speed-boat cruise. Funicular included for a smooth evening.
“Was advertised as river cruise and then concert. 2-1/2 hours, done by 7:30. Instead, the cruise was done by 5:45, and the concert didn’t start till 8:30. We had made other plans after 7:30, and couldn’t make the concert because of the misleading time announcement.”
