The elegant Helbrunn is 6 kilometer away. from Salzburg. It was erected at the beginning of the 17th century for Archbishop M. Zittikus according to the design of the architect S. Solari. A Mannerist park is laid out in front of the palace, decorated with figures of stone monsters, fountains, secret grottoes and artificial ponds. The interior decoration of Helbrunn is quite luxurious, especially the main hall and the music lounge.

A highlight of our Salzburg visit. We would consider it a must see. We loved all of the fountains and the imagination of the person who built them. These are more than the typical fountains.

Read more »ing a vantage point above where you have a great view of the Alps as well as of the gardens. You could easily spend a great afternoon here checking everything out.
The castle itself looks better on the inside than on the outside and the ticket comes with an audio guide (not the best, though). It's a well preserved and well curated museum fully worth a visit if you enjoy history.
The water play is a mixed experience, you can see all the fountains for free, what you get is an audio guide describing each spot and a bit of a shower so it's not recommend on chilly days but it's great in summer especially if you go with kids.
The folk museum is on the hill, there is a bit of a hike but well worth it, albeit small it features a collection of great taste from icons to cabinets and costumes. Through the windows you also get a great view of the gardens.
Overall a five star experience!
