Overview

Mozart composed his first piece at five. A prince-archbishop built a palace for his secret mistress. And during a siege, Salzburgers repainted one bull over and over to trick an entire army. This audio walking tour takes you through such real stories behind Salzburg’s most beautiful streets.

Starting at Mozart’s Residence, you’ll follow a carefully mapped route through baroque squares, medieval lanes, and Sound of Music filming locations – including the garden where “Do-Re-Mi” was shot and the stage where the Von Trapps performed their final concert. Along the way, hear about Europe’s oldest restaurant, visit a cemetery that inspired a Hollywood set, and discover why locals call themselves “bull washers.”

No schedules, no waiting for groups – just press play and walk. The app provides audio commentary, maps and photos at every stop. Available in 9 languages. Works offline. Start anytime and take as long as you like.
