Schloss Mirabell

People pass by, entering and leaving the palace gardens. Yes, the garden is appropriately called ‘Lustgarten’: a pleasure garden. A place where one can relax and enjoy being outside. 

This garden certainly serves its purpose, while it also includes picturesque backgrounds such as the Mirabell Palace and the Hohensalzburg fortress. History and architecture are directly included in your visit to this tranquil, urban oasis. 

Ok, the oasis may be ‘disturbed’ by visitors who are excited to visit the garden where the famous movie ‘The Sound of Music’ included one of its most famous scenes: Maria and the children sing ‘Do-Re-Mi’ while marching through this garden, also showcasing some statues, lawns, and flowerbeds. 

Visitors can enter the palace and visit some rooms, referring to the Archbishops of Salzburg. But chances are that most people like to visit the gardens and take some lovely pictures instead.
