Mirabell Gardens and Palace

This palace and garden duo was built in 1606 by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich and remodeled in 1721 in Baroque style. The interior of the Palace is lavish with enough stucco, marble, and frescoes to appease anyone, however it’s only open as a concert venue. Luckily this is where we recommend you head at night to catch an evening chamber concert in the Marble Hall. The gardens are best to visit in the morning or evening before the crowds hit. Enjoy lovely flowers, statues, and Salzburg’s Dwarf Park (with statues of many dwarfs who served the prince archbishop). You’ll recognize the scene where the von Trapps practiced the “Do-Re-Mi” song. Free to visit.
