Hellbrunn, just a quaint hunting lodge - NOT!!

Published on Jun, 2024

Unfortunate the river cruise didn’t happen due to mechanical issues. Instead, they took us by bus and made an additional stop at the “Sound of Music” Palace. Hellbrunn is unbelievable and a must see when visiting Salzburg!

Hellbrunn palace beautiful park and entertaining fountains

Published on Jun, 2024

This is just for the palace didn’t do the river boat. Beautiful peaceful scenic park with some wonderful old trees. The trick fountains tour is a must, really interesting, entertaining and novel! Other attractions there too which we didn’t get time to see. Really enjoyed it.

Cruise and Trick Water Fountains

Published on May, 2024

Oh my goodness - to experience the unexpected was fabulous!!! We had envisioned the trick fountains at Hellbrunn would be something like the Bellagio in Las Vegas but were we ever surprised! This is a tour that everyone should take! We loved it and had no disappointments at all. The cruise going to the palace was very nice and helped prepare us for an outstanding day!

Trick Fountains of Salzburg- a Must-See!!

Published on Jul, 2023

I waited in a long line to get my voucher. Others in front of me were turned away from this sold out event. However, because I had purchased through Viator, my ticket was waiting. And I wound up getting a boat ride, a ride on a London double decker bus and a tour through the Trick Fountains of Salzburg - a must-see and unexpected treat!! Viator is always the best and most reliable way to travel wherever in the world I go.

Great Experience

Published on Jul, 2022

I really enjoyed the boat ride down the river. The seats were comfortable and the staff was very accommodating. The views from the ship were amazing. The palace was incredible. The “Trick Fountains” were a lot of fun. My only regrets is we didn’t have enough time at the palace. We saw the fountains, but didn’t have time to see the inside of the palace. Another hour at the palace would have given us more time to see the everything we wanted to see. The ride back to Salzburg in a London double decker bus was fun.
