General
The Mirabell Garden in Salzburg is a magnificent Baroque garden located next to the Mirabell Palace. Famous for its intricate flowerbeds, neatly trimmed hedges, and impressive sculptures, the garden features attractions such as the dwarf garden, the hedge theater, and the orangery. The garden is open year-round, and entry is free, making it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
Insider tips
A visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon is especially worthwhile, as the garden is less crowded, allowing you to fully enjoy its tranquility and beauty. A visit in the evening is also highly recommended, as the large fountain in the center of the garden is illuminated, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The dwarf garden, the oldest dwarf garden in Europe, is particularly charming and offers many interesting photo opportunities. For film fans, the garden is a must-see, as it was used as a filming location for the famous “Do-Re-Mi” scene from The Sound of Music.
Duration
A visit to the Mirabell Garden can take anywhere from an hour to half a day, depending on your interests and schedule. Take the time to explore the different areas of the garden and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
Difficulty
The Mirabell Garden is easily accessible and suitable for all age groups. The paths are well-maintained and accessible for wheelchair users and strollers.
Season
The garden is open year-round, but it is especially popular in spring and summer due to the blooming flowers and regular events at the hedge theater. In autumn, the colorful leaves provide a picturesque backdrop.
Getting there
The Mirabell Garden is best reached by public transportation. While parking is available in a garage right next to the garden, the parking fees are quite high. If you travel by public transport, you’ll have more flexibility and avoid the high costs.
