This private Salzburg Sunset Tour is a refined evening journey focused on panoramic viewpoints and the quiet beauty of golden hour above the city. Available year-round, each season brings a different mood — from warm summer evenings to crisp winter sunsets and atmospheric night views. Travel in a private Mercedes minivan with a certified local guide and dedicated driver. Carefully timed stops allow Salzburg to unfold at its most cinematic moment, as daylight fades and the city begins to glow. At the Gaisberg summit, guests are welcomed with a seasonal drink — mulled wine in winter or a refreshing alternative in warmer months — enjoyed directly at the viewpoint.
The journey begins with a first viewpoint on the Mönchsberg, offering an elevated introduction to Salzburg as the light softens over the Old Town. From there, the route continues up to the Gaisberg summit, where sweeping views open across Salzburg, the Bavarian Alps, Berchtesgaden, and the surrounding peaks — a truly unique panorama combining city and alpine landscape. As evening deepens, the tour continues to Schloss Leopoldskron, where the palace and its reflections gain a calm, cinematic presence after dark. Each stop is selected for its atmosphere, tranquility, and sense of place — allowing Salzburg to be experienced at a slower, more intimate pace.
A selection of moments captured along the route — from golden hour above the city to Salzburg illuminated after dark. These impressions reflect the elegance, seasonal character, and quiet drama that define the Salzburg Sunset Tour: a seamless transition from day to night, throughout the year.
