Salzburg and Hallstatt
Graeme_A, Sept 2025
Both places are well worth seeing. However, you do need to realize that you will be sitting in a mini van for over 3 hours to get to Salzburg. And the after several hours exploring there it is another 2 hours to Hallstatt, which is totally quaint and charming. And then back to Vienna can, depending on traffic take up to 4 hours. Malek, our guide was fluent in English and really knowledgeable, which made the experience positive.
Well worth you time.

From Vienna, both Hallstatt and Salzburg are a destination. Both places are amazing and well worth your time. The meeting point was less than 15 minutes from St. Stephan’s. Drop off after the tour was at the hotel. The tour guide was a good fit.
Very beautiful...

Long drive, worth it if you’re trying to catch highlights in a short period of time. Both places are beautiful. Maerk was informative, thoughtful & prompt.
Itinerary
Vienna
We set out from Vienna in the morning, trading boulevards for open fields and foothills on a roughly 4-hour westbound drive. In the final hour, the road drifts into the Salzkammergut: clear lakes flash between trees, the slopes gather height, and small villages press close to the shoreline—an easy preview of what’s ahead.
Hallstatt appears suddenly, tucked between water and rock. The tempo drops. You follow the lakeside promenade toward the slender church spire, step into the Market Square, and wander lanes that climb toward the forest.
4 hoursHallstatt
Explore Hallstatt’s essentials with a storyteller-guide: how salt shaped the town, why the Iron Age bears its name, where to frame the perfect lake reflection, and what quiet corners to visit afterward.
1 hourHallstatt
Enjoy free time in Hallstatt: wander the lakeside promenade for classic spire-and-water views, browse small craft shops and salt-themed souvenirs, and pause in Market Square for coffee or pastries. Follow the Mühlbach stream to quiet photo spots, or climb a lane for rooftops-and-lake panoramas. Then simply sit by the water and take it all in.
