Personal, individual modular castle tour

Fortress Hohensalzburg offers customized guided tours for groups based on a modular system. In other words: You decide what you want to see! The core of every tour is always Basic Module A, where you’ll learn all about the history of Fortress Hohensalzburg. In addition, you can freely choose 2 more modules (B through F). Each module lasts about 20 minutes—so the total duration of a modular tour is at least about 50 to 60 minutes.

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

The offers and prices apply to groups of 10 or more people —for groups with fewer participants, we charge a flat rate of €75 for a 3-module tour. Prices may vary for tours outside our regular opening hours!
