If you've watched Sound of Music, you will recognize this palace and gardens. Though we didn't see much inside, the outside is beautiful and the gardens are a must see. We even found a small, intimate gnome garden that overlooks a park. It was so quite and comfortable, we didn't want to leave.

Mirabell gardens ,with the statues,flowers greenery and the Palace in the back ground,A part of the Song Do Re me from the hollywood classic Sound of Music was shot in this garden. It is very central,walking distance from the river and their is a bus stand just outside it. All conducted tours start from near this garden.

From the Gardens one can also have a look at the imposing Hohensalzburg Fortress. At one end is the Palacw which is however out... More
