Salzburg has a way of grabbing you fast. This 2-hour walking tour strings together Mozart sights, Mirabell Garden memories from The Sound of Music, and major Old Town stops without feeling rushed. I like how efficiently it covers the classics…

Schönbrunn turns dinner into an event. You get a 3-course Viennese meal near the palace, then a Mozart-and-Strauss concert with opera singers in the Orangery. The potential downside: the dinner is a fixed, set menu and some folks find it…
