Mirabell is Salzburg's garden visiting-card: built by a prince-archbishop for his beloved in 1606, its baroque gardens now Austria's most famous floral frame โ the complete axis: parterres, fountains, myth statues, and the fortress suspended at the perspective's end above the flowers: the first Salzburg photograph. For the generations, its other face: here the Sound of Music children danced Do-Re-Mi around the Pegasus fountain and rose steps โ the cinema pilgrimage is daily. Indoors, a jewel: the Marble Hall where child Mozart played, counted Europe's loveliest wedding hall, opening free in set hours (with ticketed evening concerts). The gardens are free dawn to dusk โ and a morning coffee at their balustrade facing the fortress is Salzburg's gentlest opening.
Flowers, fountains, hanging fortress โ the defining shot.
Rose steps and Pegasus fountain โ the film pilgrimage.
Odd marble dwarfs of 1690 โ the genre's oldest garden.
