Day 1 - Stiegl-Keller
Founded in 1492, Stiegl-Keller is a family-owned Austrian brewery and a Salzburg staple. Located in the heart of the city centre, just beneath the Hohensalzburg Fortress, its Beer Garden offers unparalleled panoramic views of the old town. For over 500 years, the brewery has survived crises and wars and has shaped culinary culture in the city. We can’t wait to indulge in Stiegl beer and traditional Austrian cuisine with you!
Day 2 - Schloss Leopoldskron
Schloss Leopoldskron (Leopoldskron Palace) is an iconic Salzburg landmark. The palace was built in 1736 by Prince-Archbishop Leopold Anton Freiherr von Firmian and later renovated while owned by Max Reinhart, a prominent Stage Director in the early 20th Century and the Founder of the Salzburg Festival, one of the world’s largest classical music festivals. The Schloss became a sensation overseas in 1965, when it served as the setting for The Sound of Music film.
The building is a masterpiece of rococo and classic architecture, with opulent interiors, lush gardens, a seven hectare park, all located on a lake near the Alps. Its library held 15,000 books at its peak across 18 themes largely in literature and theatre. Its Marble Hall has remained unchanged for 300 years - both in form and in purpose -, hosting balls and festive dinners among its marble floors, stucco ceilings, and captivating paintings. These and the many other spaces in the Schloss - such as the Venitian salon and the Chapel - will be open for us to enjoy together.
The Schloss also has a rich and complex history. Today it functions primarily as the birthplace and home of the Salzburg Global Seminar, which annually since 1947 has been convening leaders to problem-solve global issues; as a key venue for Salzburg Festival performances (over 100 years); and as a magnificent host of weddings.
Elegance, art, thought, and nature come together here - all things Joanna & Connor love.
Day 3 - Mozart Residence
From 1773 to 1787, the Mozarts lived at the so-called "Dance Master's House", today's Mozart Residence on Makartplatz. The earlier name came from a prior tenant, Lorenz Spoeckner, who taught dance lessons there to local nobility. The house on Getreidegasse where Mozart was born had simply become too small for the family, so they moved here. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart spent 8 years at this house, until he relocated to Vienna in 1781.
The spacious eight-room apartment on the first floor is now home to a museum holding Mozart’s fortepiano and other original documents and portraits. We look forward to Poprawiny (newlywed) celebrations with you here over brunch and an optional tour!
