I am proud to work as a tourist guide and love to show you my favorite places and sights! And maybe YOU will will find YOUR favorite place here, too. I have guided visitors from all over the world through the beautiful province of Salzburg since 2008. Originally I am from Styria ("The Green Heart of Austria") but my studies in interior architecture and work in the tourist industry as a tour guide and incoming operator initially took me to Amsterdam and then to New York City and Los Angeles for almost two decades. Salzburg became my new home in 1997! The combination of nature and culture convinced me and my family to move into this area. The city optimally meets my expectations of a place with international flair and interesting history. I would be delighted to introduce you to the variety that Salzburg has to offer, the historical locations in Salzburg, the customs and traditions of Salzburg and its people along with plenty of unique and special places…. . Austria Guide certificate Most tours will be walking tours. But I can arrange for a private car and driver if requested or needed for some tours. I also can accompany you in your vehicle.

Explore Salzburg's magical Christmas Markets, filled with rich history and seasonal treats
Overview of your Salzburg tour
Step into a winter wonderland as Salzburg transforms into a festive dream! Imagine a 100-year-old Christmas tree standing proudly in Residence Square, surrounded by 96 charming market stalls offering handcrafted Austrian gifts. Stroll through the snow-dusted old town, where the scent of mulled wine and the sounds of Christmas carols fill the air. Did you know that the beloved song *"Silent Night, Holy Night"* originates from Salzburg? Inside the majestic Salzburg Cathedral, uncover its fascinating history, admire the nativity scene, and visit the baptismal font of Joseph Mohr, the man behind the song’s timeless lyrics. Wander through Salzburg’s enchanting narrow streets, explore its rich history, and discover how the city’s Christmas markets evolved over time. Find unique, locally made crafts and indulge in seasonal treats like roasted chestnuts and spiced punch. With my deep knowledge of Salzburg, I'll bring the Christmas spirit to life and help you explore like a local.
