Your expert, English-speaking private guide will meet you in Mozart Square by the colossal bronze statue of the man himself – Salzburg’s musical hero. From here you will embark on a three hour walking and food tasting tour of the city. You’ll learn all about Salzburg’s history, culture, architecture, and famous personalities, all while tasting traditional Austrian food – from casual stand-up street food snacks to formal sit-down meals, with local wine and beer included too. (Or non-alcoholic drinks if you prefer).

Visit the lively outdoor market and enjoy a hearty, classic Austrian sausage and beer. Meet the local street food vendors and soak up the friendly atmosphere of this traditional Austrian food market.

Step inside a lovely, cozy traditional pub to enjoy a traditional beer and pretzel. Then explore the quaint and cobbled streets of Salzburg, that open up onto magnificent baroque squares as you head to your next stop for something sweet. At an independent traditional artisanal bakery shop you will get to try a pastry or sweet bread.

Another stroll through the Old City’s lanes will take us to a wonderful, warm, and welcoming restaurant where we will sit down to enjoy traditional dumplings or a dish called Stern Bräu – mouth-watering roasted pork with dumplings accompanied by a glass of beer or wine.

By this time you’ll be feeling pretty full with hearty Austrian fare, but there is time for one more stop at an historic venue run by the same family for several generations. Here you’ll finish the tour with a delicious sweet treat called Mozartkugel the Mozart Ball. This was invented in 1890 by master confectioner Paul Furst, and named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Salzburg’s musical hero. It is a delicious round confection consisting of pistachio, marzipan, and nougat and covered with dark chocolate. A rich, elegant and tasty finish to a very satisfying three hours!

  • Authentic Salzburg at Its Best

    This tour felt genuinely local in the best way possible. We spoke with vendors, sampled traditional foods, and learned how these dishes shaped everyday life in Salzburg. The handcrafted Mozartkugel was a revelation—so much better than the mass-market ones. A very satisfying and informative three hours.

  • Exceeded Expectations—Especially the Pastries!

    This was my first time booking a LivTours experience, and it exceeded every expectation. The bakery stop was my favorite—the baker even let us peek into the back room where the sweet breads were cooling. I also enjoyed the balance between walking and eating; it never felt rushed. Would happily book again.

  • Mozart, Markets, and the Best Dumplings Ever

    Giulia was a wonderful guide—friendly, funny, and full of knowledge. She brought Salzburg’s personality to life as we wandered the Old City and sampled everything from street food to the most tender pork at a family-run restaurant. My husband is still talking about the dumplings. The three hours flew by.

  • Great Combination of Culture and Eating

    My partner and I always seek out food tours when we travel, and this one is among the best we’ve tried. Chiara’s storytelling brought the city’s medieval streets to life. We especially enjoyed the beer-and-pretzel break, which felt wonderfully authentic. The pacing of food stops was perfect.

  • If You Love Chocolate, Don’t Miss This Tour

    The whole experience was fantastic, but the Mozart Ball at the end completely won me over. Our guide, Marco, shared the story of its creation in such an engaging way that I appreciated the treat even more. The market and bakery visits were equally delightful. This is a must-do for food lovers.
