AUSTRIA · BOAT TRIPS IN SALZBURG
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 6 boat trips in Salzburg worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Salzburg: cruise the Salzach, dine at Hohensalzburg’s Panorama Restaurant, then hear Best of Mozart in the fortress halls.
“Besides h the rainy weather it was great. Food was good and concert was wonderful”
Salzburg at dusk with a Salzach river cruise, dinner in Fortress Hohensalzburg, and Mozart chamber music, with optional VIP perks.
“The rover cruise was nice, but very warm. Dinner was ok, our server was what made the experience fantastic. Very accommodating. The concert was beautiful, however we had to leave at intermission because the room was entirely too hot. Understand no a/c, but fans would have been a welcome addition”
40-minute Salzach river cruise in Salzburg with live English commentary, alpine views, and a fun boat dance finale.
“Cruise was about 45 minutes up river and back down passing out of the built up area of the city and showcasing residences along the river banks. The boat itself is rather small and mostly inside under cover. You can pay an extra 3 euro/per person to sit outside which is nice on a warm clear day.”
Salzburg river cruise to Hellbrunn Palace with fast-track trick fountains, audio-guided rooms, and double-decker bus transfers.
“The 10-15 minute boat trip was uneventful and we found the gardens not really interesting … We thought we were going to see actual rooms of the palace but we didn’t … Sorry but I wouldn’t recommend this tour at all unless you’re interested in lo9ing round gardens”
Salzburg river cruise and Best of Mozart concert at Fortress Hohensalzburg, with included funicular rides and city views.
“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 a train. Unfortunately I felt the whole thing was west of money. It was not made clear that the concert would start at 8:00PM. when I wrote to the organizers they didn't even apologies for the misleading information. In all this was not worthwhile and west of money for us.”
Enjoy a Salzach river cruise and a Mozart concert in Fortress Hohensalzburg, with funicular rides and panoramic views of Salzburg.
“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.”
The whole country, sorted by the kind of day you want.
