Let’s start at the very beginning The Sound of Music at 60. And Salzburg’s place in the story.
Now if you’re looking for a ray, a speck of golden sun, then the Austrian music city is the place to go.
And particularly this year as Soundies or Trappies will be gathering in even greater numbers for the Diamond Anniversary of the iconic film.
Now if you’re a solo traveller and the line ‘me the name I call myself’ has most resonance then Solos Holidays have you covered.
Melodies & Majesty in Salzburg
They are offering a Melodies & Majesty – A Salzburg Symphony tour departing on 1 June and costing £1,649pp.
And what is more majestic than a dinner and concert at Mirabell Palace where Maria and the children dance around the fountain singing Do-Re-Mi,
The Solos tour blends group experiences with free time, offering a relaxed way to explore the charm of Salzburg.
And having the security of the group behind you might stop you getting lost, miscalculating your time and having to tear back like a blue-arsed fly before your booze bus returns to the Oktoberfest in Munich.
Your Melodies & Majesty package includes return flights and transfers, airport taxes, double-room for solo use, daily breakfast and welcome drink.
And then there’s the excursions, the boat trip from St. Gilgen to St. Wolfgang.
Entrance to Fortress Hohensalzburg and a return funicular ride, guided tour of Salzburg and Salzkammergut.
That dinner and a concert at Mirabell Palace and an experienced Solos Tour Leader.
Mozart’s balls
And for an encore there’s entrance to Mozart’s birthplace.
Ein kleine local knowledge here and don’t leave Salzburg before checking out Mozart’s balls.
Now if you’ve dipped your toe into Salzburg on a day away from the slopes on your winter break then it just whets your appetite for a return.
And when better than going back. To the very beginning The Sound of Music at 60.
