Best of Mozart Concert at Fortress Hohensalzburg in Salzburg

Must see

Such a beautiful and charming place to listen classical music. Very unique experience. Absolutely must see.

Amazing music!

Loved the location, especially watching the sun set through the windows. The musicians were amazing! Incredible experience!

Music and views are sure to please!

Wow, these musicians were incredibly talented and the ambience was so special. The views from the Fortress were outstanding. We loved the music that was selected. A nice compilation of Mozart and others.

Romantic evening with Mozart

The castle is an addd treat to a great concert! There are 3-4 flights of stairs-buyer beware. The concert had 3 pieces by Mozart. The other three were good too. The musicians played with passion and I recommend you go!

Mozart music comes to life!

Excellent experience! Superb musicians! Incredible venue! Recommended highly!!! We didn’t have the dinner with the concert.

A beautiful evening

The entire evening was wonderful. We had time before the concert to capture the amazing views of Salzburg and the majestic Alps. The musicians performed beautifully and the setting for the concert was very intimate and made the experience a vey special one.

Must include in your trip - is fab!

Lovely evening at the concert, enjoying the beautiful music and surroundings - highly recommend! There’s a lot of steps so be prepared for a little climb, but when you arrive it is worth it.

Mozart (and a little Strauss) close up.

Very accompished quintet dedicated to theit craft. Quite intense, but displaying a touch of humour towards the end of the perfomance. The pianist in the first hallf was quite the performer and the 1st violin was outstanding. Nevertheless, I felt that rapport between the players was somewhat lacking. On leaving the venue, there was not a single taxi in sight and you were left on your own in a remote part of Salzburg late at night. The organisers should contact the taxi companies to provide many taxis as the majority of the audience were not locals familiar with the city.

It was a good time. The...

It was a good time. The musicians who performed are very talented. As per some other reviews, the venue was small but intimate, accommodating and the sound was great. The views from the fortress of Salzburg were amazing.

Worth going for

The musicians were really good. It was a small set up and they could really engage with the audience. 90 mins was absolutely appropriate. The only thing many of us i guess found it difficult was to locate the hall in the fortress. There needs to be better signages.

Phenomenal music but a bit of false advertising

Music was fantastic. Perfect length. Only one song was Mozart so it was a bit of false advertising. Love that it was in the castle.

Artists are really...

Artists are really talented it’s must watch, and venue was also beautiful , a must watch for Mozart fans.

Watch the show with Boggle eyes🍻

Don’t go to a classical concert when you’re tired or have been travelling all day. Instantly calms you to sleep. The ride up was wonderful, the Fortress was amazing and the Concert was intimate and perfect for its size. Just maybe the heating could be brought down so it felt less stuffy.

Disappointing and untrue photo

Venue is much smaller than the photo shown on Viator. That’s not the true photo of the actual performing location. The space is narrow and tight and stuffy without any fresh air circulation. Sound acoustic is lousy as the ceiling is quite low.

Salzburg from above..

The experience of the concert at the fortress which made me go back in time and coziness of ambiance.

Do not miss this

Such a beautiful venue, incredible music, great experience, comfortable, fun, and accommodating staff. The ride up in the tram was very fun. Sunset was pretty and the view wow

Great music and location

What a great location to listen to beautiful music, would recommend and plan to return. My teenage girls enjoyed as well

Great venue and wonderful music

Wonderful small setting with good acoustics.like a family get together. Not too many notes and the musicians commendable.

Mozart Perfection

This was the highlight of our Salzburg experience. Excellent musicians and choice of pieces. To listen to it in that setting defies description. Extremely tiring stair climb but we made it! Would be impossible for those with limited mobility.

Beautiful music

Lovely evening listening to very talented musicians playing beautiful music in a fantastic location. The concert was about 2 hours with a short intermission. Worth the time and money.

Magical evening

What a fabulous venue and professional well rehearsed musicians! The programme and tempo was varied ranging from Mozart to Strauss with a Dvorak Slavonic dance and a pizzicato polka brilliantly in synch. Bravo!

Good performance but over priced for the limited songs they performed.

The performers were excellent but the concert only lasted about 40 minutes. I actually thought it might be an intermission. At the beginning one of the performers announced something only in German so I had no idea what she said. They need to add English. Never heard the names of the songs and didn’t recognize any of the songs. Probably only worth half the price. I even paid extra for the tickets but ended up in the last row even though there were some empty seats up front.

A lesser experience than expected

Great views from the Fortress and good music. It was hot in the room. Some of the side windows should have been opened. Smaller than expected ensemble- 2 violins, 2 cellos, one piano player. Piano player was very good, but only played for about half of the first session. I left a few minutes early during the second session, to that point piano player had not joined ensemble.

An evening of beautiful music in a storybook setting.

After a busy day touring the city of Saltzburg, we ended the night with a fantastic concert in the Fortress. The setting is outstanding and the music was just fantastic. We saw “The Best of Mozart” program.

Must Do

The concert was fantastic, intimate and fascinating room. Musician were superb. The ride up to the fortress and fortress very impressive.

A recommendable consortes!

A very nice evening. Excellent musicans who performed with a lot of engagement and feeling. Fantastik historisk place for the performance.

Among the most wonderful experience of my 50+ years of attending classical music concerts.

I was impressed with both the musicians and the wonderful acoustic of the space. The Brandenburg Concerto no 2 was particularly beautiful and I was brought to tears with the beauty of the piece and its rendition that night. It was all wonderful.

Mozart in Saltsburg

Excellent performance. The lead violinist was particularly notable. Excellent value for the price and a beautiful and interesting venue.

Top notch!

Talented musicians, great sunset view! Be prepared to climb ~ 200 step!!!!!! Able to take photos and video!

An evening of Mozart, high above Salzburg

Great 2 hours listening to a quartet play some Mozart tunes. Nice setting & great music Good value for the cost. Definitely recommended

unique experience

If you want to enjoy classical music in an absolutely unique atmosphere, this event is an absolute must. Great location, outstanding musicians - what more could you ask for?

well worth the visit

The performance was outstanding so enjoyed the night.My only issue was access and information directing to the venue could be improved. Many visitors did the same asking if this was the concert as there was either no staff members to ask and limited signage

Stunning concerns at sunset in the fortress!

Absolutely lovely! Would highly recommend! Really enjoyed the city views from the fortress at sunset and the concert was lovely. A must-have experience!!

Excellent concert but…!

The concert was excellent and in a lovely setting with very high quality musicians. However, no provision/consideration had been made for the extreme heat and this includes the fact that the interval was far too long(25+mins). Little information was provided either on the night so we had no idea there was an interval or how long it would be.

Amazing

The concert was amazing!!! Thank you for this very nice experience. Must see in the city of Mozart.

Mozart & mileau - class of its own

Skillful musicians played fantastically together - joyful Mozart and playful minds! Thanks for the enjoyable moment up on Hohenfestung feastful site.

Music of Mozart with excellent acoustics, grand views=Highlight of Salzburg Visit.

The Fortress is a stunning example of preserved history and grandeur complete with real canons and cannonballs. The Taking the funicular from the town up to the mountain top is amazingly fun and that is well before the concert. The room where the music is performed has excellent acoustics, the musicians were impressive and the selection of pieces done with great care. A highlight of Salzburg visit!

Very nice evening activity

Professional skills of musicians very good! Beautiful setting in the castle and good choice of musical prorgram.

Breathtaking views of the city at night

We enjoyed this concert! It was prolly out of our “class” but thought we needed culture in our lives! It was a warm evening but loved it!

Cracking pianist

It was an amazing experience all round, the views alone were spectacular and watching the sun setting whilst the concert was playing, magical

Unfortunately the...

Unfortunately the information was not clear. There should be notice given that this is not suitable for anyone with physical limitations due to the accessibility.

Wonderful

The music and setting were so beautiful. It was an incredible experience to be there in a fortress, listening to music that was composed in the town below so long ago. The musicians were top notch talent and you could see they really enjoyed themselves. Will never forget it!

Perfect evening

Amazing venue for a wonderful concert. It was a relaxed atmosphere and the music was top notch. It was a perfect evening.

A touch of magic

Top notch performance. Enjoyed every second! Must-do when in Salzburg. For the love of classical music.

Do not waste your money

The seating categories are a scam. We paid for category 1 seating, and were seated in the SECOND LAST row, right up the back, and couldnt see a thing. The venue, whilst it is nice, is not suitable for concerts. Unless you are in the first few rows, you will not see anything. To make things worse, there was no wine or beer for sale, only a tiny, overpriced glass of sparkling. A total rip-off. Be aware, you have to climb 3 or 4 flights of stairs to access venue, and then climb them all over again up and down when you need to go to the bathroom. Overall, this was a terrible waste of money, taking advantage of tourists. So disappointing.

Great experience in Salzburg

The concert was great. We had a great experience climbing the fortress. Was unable to book the dinner concert.

Music that filled the mountain

We enjoyed everything from the Festungsbahn lift to the views in front and in back. The music and musicians were exceptional. Lastly, the ticket group and seating personnel were very helpful and quite nice.

Mozart concert at night

Beautiful setting at the fort. Provided the fornicular ride to get up there and back down. Excellent performance.

Fabulous concert

Beautiful location, excellent musicians - quite magical. The terrace restaurant, despite a wonderful position, was poor in service and price. Very unusually for Salzburg, there was litter under all the tables and broken chairs. What a wasted opportunity for them. We only had drinks but the food didn’t look tempting.

Beautiful music

Great experience. Beautiful music Wonderful place to have a concert The musicians are amazingly talented
