Hellbrunn Palace Boat Trip + Trick Fountains

At the indicated time, we'll meet at 1a on Franz-Josef-Kai Street in Salzburg, where we'll board a boat to embark on a trip to Hellbrunn Palace.

We'll move south on the Salzach River and admire views of the old town from the boat. After disembarking, a historical English double-decker bus will take us to Hellbrunn Palace, a baroque 'villa' from the 19th century.

In the palace gardens, we'll enjoy its famous trick fountains: a collection of fountains, sculptures, caves, and unique hydraulic machines designed to surprise guests with sudden bursts of water. The prince-archbishop Markus Sittikus created these for entertainment.

Next, you'll enter the palace to explore the ballrooms with their impressive frescoes by Mascagni, the prince's chamber, and the music chamber while listening to an audio guide.

After approximately 2.5 hours, we'll board a bus that will return us to the meeting point in Salzburg.
