Hallstatt Private highlights full-Day Tour from Salzburg

St. Gilgen is also known as Mozart Village! Sport, culture and nature lie so wonderfully side by side there. The picturesque town of St. Gilgen is only 25 kilometers from Salzburg's old town. This idyll is closely linked to the child prodigy Mozart and his family. After all, his grandfather was born here, and Mozart's sister “Nannerl” found her home in St. Gilgen. Selected events and the Mozarthaus still remind us of the Mozart family today.
