Day Three: Exploring Salzburg & Königsee
Explore the incredible sights of Salzburg where the spirit of Mozart lives on, a city dominated by an impressive and fully preserved fortress. We enjoy a city tour to discover the baroque cathedral, the 'Rome of the Alps', the Residence - a majestic building dating back to the 16th Century and the Mozart memorial in Mozart Square. Mozart’s birthplace can be found at No.9 Getreidegasse, a street famous for its multiple shop signs, courtyards and passages. We have some free time to stroll around and explore further.
On the way back, we’ll stop off to soak up the beauty of Königsee’s emerald green waters and if the weather allows, hop on a boat trip on the lake, returning to the hotel for dinner with our fellow travellers.

Today will be spent enjoying a panoramic tour with local guide by coach through the Salzburger lake district ‘Salzkammergut’, a picture-perfect region of deep valleys and alpine peaks. We’ll soak up the spectacular sights of Mondsee, which not only bears the same name as the peaceful lake it sits upon, but the town itself homes the church from Maria's wedding in the 'Sound of Music'. On to Wolfgangsee - we get chance to marvel at the picturesque lake surrounded by the Austrian mountains. Finally, we stop at the stunning small village of Hallstatt, with its candy-coloured houses and tranquil lakes, before returning to the hotel for dinner.

We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.
