Fortress Hohensalzburg offers individual guided tours for groups according to the modular principle. In other words: you decide what you want to see! You can choose between a 3- or 4-module tour. The fixed point is always the basic module A, in which you learn everything about the history of Fortress Hohensalzburg. You can then choose either 2 or 3 further modules (B to F). Each module lasts around 20 minutes - the total duration of a modular tour is therefore at least around 50 to 60 minutes (for a 3-module tour) or 70 to 80 minutes (for a 4-module tour).

Please book your individual modular tour at least 14 days in advance.

The offers and prices apply to groups of 10 people or more - for groups with fewer participants we charge a flat rate of €75. Changed prices for guided tours outside our opening hours!
