The Hofburg Palace has undergone a few transformations over the past couple of centuries, but one thing remains the same: Its splendour and grandeur are still absolutely magnificent. The palace was built in 1463, and then extended in 1495 by the famed Maximilian I. However, it was given multiple makeovers through the ages and miraculously still stands today! The palace has been preserved in its 17th and 18th century style, fit with ornaments, clothing pieces and artifacts that the Imperial family would have made use of when staying in the Palace. Take a tour of the Hofburg Palace, fit for a king! After viewing the Imperial apartments at the Hofburg palace, sit down for lunch at the extravagant Cafe Sacher inside the Hofburg Imperial palace.

Visit the Nazi Party’s historic conference venue high up on the summit of Kehlstein Mountain, by embarking on an Eagle’s Nest tour from Salzburg! Take in the incredible views of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps from 5,000 ft. Your journey from Salzburg will take you through the scenic alpine landscape of the Koenigssee Valley, crossing into Germany past an ancient castle and old mountainous farmhouses. Explore the quaint towns of Obersalzberg and Berchtesgaden, near to the destroyed site of Adolf Hitler’s house and legendary Birches Garden. Berchtesgaden has deemed itself the nickname Hitler's Eagle's Nest, given its association with Hilter and Nazi history. Be treated to a perilously steep drive to reach the entry tunnel, ride the old brass elevator and experience the main attraction in Berchtesgaden, Eagle’s Nest’s interior. A professional guide will lead you to all the important sites, such as the famous fireplace, and the meeting room. This is truly a tour not to be missed for history and nature lovers!
