Mirabell Garden
Mirabell Garden in Salzburg is a beautiful Baroque garden, created in the 17th century. It's known for its elegant flower beds, mythological statues, the Pegasus Fountain, and the Dwarf Garden. The garden offers stunning views of Salzburg Cathedral and the Hohensalzburg Fortress. It’s free to visit and famous for scenes from The Sound of Music.
Getreidegasse
The Getreidegasse is Salzburg’s most famous shopping street and a charming blend of history and elegance. Lined with beautifully preserved medieval buildings, wrought-iron guild signs, and narrow passageways, it offers a lively mix of boutiques, traditional shops, and cafés. It’s also home to Mozart’s birthplace, making it a must-see for culture lovers and a perfect place to soak up the city’s atmosphere.
Mozart's birthplace
Mozart’s Birthplace (Mozarts Geburtshaus) is one of Salzburg’s most visited museums. Located at No. 9 Getreidegasse, it’s where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756 and lived for the first 17 years of his life. The museum offers a fascinating look into his early years, with original instruments, letters, and portraits, giving visitors a personal glimpse into the world of the musical genius.
Salzburg Cathedral
The Salzburg Cathedral is a masterpiece of baroque architecture and the spiritual heart of the city. With its impressive façade, grand dome, and richly decorated interior, it’s one of Salzburg’s most important landmarks. Mozart was baptized here, and the cathedral’s powerful organs and historic crypt make it both a place of worship and a journey through centuries of history.
Hellbrunn Palace
Hellbrunn Palace is a playful and unique summer residence just outside Salzburg, built by Prince-Archbishop Markus Sittikus in the early 17th century. It's best known for its trick fountains—clever water features designed to surprise and amuse guests. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and parkland, Hellbrunn offers a light-hearted contrast to Salzburg’s baroque grandeur and is a perfect stop on a warm summer day.
Hohensalzburg Fortress
Hohensalzburg Fortress is one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved medieval castles, perched high above Salzburg. Originally built in 1077, it offers sweeping views of the city and Alps, as well as richly furnished rooms, museums, and historical exhibits. The fortress reflects centuries of power and defense and can be reached by a funicular or on foot. It’s a must-see for history lovers and anyone wanting a panoramic view of Salzburg.

Hello, I'm Philipp,
A native of Munich with a lifelong connection to this incredible city. As a passionate tour guide and content creator, I specialize in bringing Munich's unique stories and lesser-known gems to life.
Growing up here, I’ve cultivated not only an insider’s knowledge of the city’s famous landmarks but also the hidden corners that most visitors miss. Munich’s history spans from its medieval foundations to its complex role in the rise of National Socialism, and I strive to present these chapters with the depth and context they deserve.
The city is also a culinary treasure trove, from hearty Bavarian classics to vibrant street food markets that showcase local flavors. And with a rich calendar of seasonal events, like the world-famous Oktoberfest and magical Christmas markets, there’s always something to celebrate.
Beyond the main attractions, I enjoy introducing visitors to lesser-known treasures like the Auer Dult, a traditional fair, and Starkbierfest, Munich's “strong beer” festival rooted in Bavarian monastic tradition. Through my videos and tours, I provide a local’s perspective that’s rich with personal anecdotes and connections to the city’s past and present. Whether you’re looking for iconic sights, authentic eats, or a deep dive into Munich’s vibrant, authentic spots, I’m here to show you a side of Munich that you’ll never forget.
