About this spot
The Mirabell Gardens, situated in Salzburg, Austria, are a masterpiece of baroque landscape design and one of the city's most famous attractions. Created in 1690 by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach for Prince-Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun, the gardens were part of the Mirabell Palace's ensemble. Renowned for their meticulous layouts, geometrical precision, and stunning floral arrangements, the gardens feature a variety of sculptures, fountains, and a grand marble staircase designed by the famous baroque architect Lukas von Hildebrandt. The Mirabell Gardens gained worldwide fame after featuring in the classic film "The Sound of Music." Visitors are drawn to its beautifully arranged flower beds, hedge theater, and the Pegasus Fountain, all offering a tranquil escape in the heart of Salzburg. The gardens also provide a magnificent view of the Hohensalzburg Fortress and the Salzburg Cathedral, making them a favored spot for both tourists and locals.
