Boat Journey to Hellbrunn Palace + Trick Fountains

At the designated hour, we will gather at 1a on Franz-Josef-Kai Street in Salzburg, where a boat will await us for a memorable excursion to Hellbrunn Palace.

As we travel south along the Salzach River, take in the stunning vistas of the historic city center from the water. Upon our arrival, a charming English double-decker bus will transport us to Hellbrunn Palace, a baroque 'villa' dating back to the 19th century.

Upon entering the palace grounds, we will dive into the excitement of the renowned trick fountains, which include fountains, elaborate sculptures, hidden caves, mechanical deer, and fascinating hydraulic devices guaranteed to surprise you with unexpected splashes. This playful water circuit was created by the prince-archbishop Markus Sittikus, who delighted in catching his visitors off guard during their stays.

Next, we will explore the interior of the palace with the help of an audio guide, navigating through the exquisite ballrooms adorned with Mascagni's frescoes, the prince's private quarters, and the music chamber.

Ultimately, we will conclude our experience with a return bus journey lasting about 2.5 hours, bringing us back to our original meeting point in Salzburg.
