"Follow the sound of music to the iconic Mirabell Palace and Gardens, where Fräulein Maria and the von Trapp children delightfully sang "Do-Re-Mi." Mirabell has become a dream destination for marriage ceremonies, boasting what some call the most beautiful wedding hall in the world. Of course, you don't have to tie the knot to enjoy this elegant slice of Salzburg : Stroll through the gardens and admire the charming flower beds, statues of Roman gods, hedge theater, Pegasus fountain, and garden of baroque marble dwarfs."

Visiting Mirabell Palace Gardens in winter was a magical experience! The gardens, though quieter during the colder months, still exude a timeless charm. The crisp air and scenic views of Salzburg's surrounding mountains make it feel like stepping into a movie scene—especially with the faint echoes of "The Sound of Music" in the air. Unlike other popular sites in the city, Mirabell Gardens are peaceful, allowing you to truly enjoy the beauty and history. The symmetry of the garden design and the tranquil atmosphere offer a perfect spot for relaxation and reflection. A must-see gem in Salzburg!

Amazing palace complex in Salzburg, Austria. Me and my parents stopped by here while on an Alpine tour. Although we were not able to enter the actual palace, we were able to go around the gardens that were made famous for being in the 1965 film The Sound of Music. We saw many beautiful statues and flower arrangements in the garden alongside several couples taking photos. We also got to go on the steps where the famous “Do-Re-Mi” sequence happened. Overall it was a good visit.

We didn't go inside but visited the gardens. Gardens were beautiful with chairs to sit on to enjoy the view. Sometimes it can feel crowded particularly when lots of tour groups comes through at the same time but definitely worth a visit. For those who are big fans of sound of music - I would highly recommend.

Beautiful castle that's right by the gardens - entry is free, and best spot is from the west side. There's an entry to some large corridors - if you find your way around, you can go up to the 2nd level where you can see some of the larger rooms and set-ups. The tile work is truly amazing.

We had planned to go on a Sunday but then realized that the palace it's not open that day. It currently houses the Salzburg mayor's office and (presumably as a result) the full building is not open to the public. However, you can enter the building without a ticket and the gardens are certainly free to visit. So all of the tours offering to take you here for "only $$ per person" are basically ripping you off. The limited places we did see inside the building were interesting and fun to imagine what life might have been like there in the 1700s or 1800s. But the exterior/gardens are the best part of the Palace in my opinion. It can be crowded, so getting there early is probably your best bet. Be sure to check out the dwarf garden with its interesting statues.

Gorgeous gardens with beautiful flowers, Pegasus fountain & mythology-themed statues and four groups of sculpture Aeneas, Hercules, Paris and Pluto and also other interesting sculptures. Go early in the morning to avoid tourist crowds. There will be tourists from the hop on hop off buses that will fill the area around 10am

Absolutely beautiful! Wonderful place to sit and relax. We went with my Dad who is handicap. The only place he could get in with his wheelchair was the main gate. My kids got bored because there was nothing for them to do.
