Family-friendly tours
Fortress Hohensalzburg regularly offers family-friendly public tours. The current tour schedule can be viewed in the event calendar.
Private tours suitable for children age 5 years and up.
Would you like to book a private tour for your family? Tours on the following three themes are available throughout the year:
- Up high and down low
Together we climb the highest tower in the fortress with spectacular views. We also venture into deep, dark underground rooms where there is much to discover.
- Splendor and pastries
Glittering feasts were celebrated in the Golden Hall of the fortress. Space and special rooms were needed to prepare the fantastic dishes and store all the ingredients. We open these up for you and also indulge in the splendor of the princely rooms.
- Of unicorns and wild men
Many magical and unusual creatures roam the fortress. We track them down and listen to tales and legends.
- Wonderful coats of arms
Many coats of arms adorn the fortress and bear witness to the proud builders and owners - some of them are quite unusual and surprising. We look for these special coats of arms, learn exciting facts and design our own dream coats of arms.
Flat rate for the guided tour (up to 10 people): € 75.
Each additional person € 4.- (child) or € 6,- (adult)
If there are more than 15 participants, the group will be split.
Children’s birthday parties
For a children’s birthday at Hohensalzburg Castle, the birthday boy or girl and their friends meet in the old town, just behind the cathedral. The castle must be conquered before the children can explore the secret nooks and crannies of the castle. Once they arrive in the castle courtyard, freshly made bread will be ready for them in the old bakery. You can choose from various themes for the children's birthday party at Hohensalzburg Castle: Knightly tournaments and skill-based games are scheduled in the program so the children are guaranteed plenty of fun. The children can also reenact scenes from old sagas and legends, or slip into the costumes of former nobles.
