Personal, individual modular fortress tour
Hohensalzburg Fortress offers individual guided tours for groups based on a modular system. In other words, you decide what you want to see! The basic module A is always included, in which you will learn everything about the history of Hohensalzburg Fortress. You can then choose two additional modules (B to F) of your choice. Each module lasts about 20 minutes, so the total duration of a modular tour is at least 50 to 60 minutes.
Please book your individual modular tour at least 14 days in advance.
The offers and prices are valid for groups of 10 or more people.
