The experience
About this quest
Salzburg, 1938. The hills may still be alive with music, but shadows are gathering fast. You are Maria Von Trapp, recently married to Captain Georg Von Trapp and stepmother to seven spirited children.
As Austria prepares to fall under Nazi control, your family must flee. But not today. Today is for laughter, music, and memories.
Lead the children on one final walk through Salzburg's enchanting streets. Explore real-world landmarks, solve clever puzzles, and follow clues that echo the songs and stories you hold dear. This family quest is perfect for families or friends looking to walk, wonder, and feel together. Will this be the farewell Salzburg never forgets?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Families with primary-school children who know the Von Trapp story play Maria for a day, leading the kids from Mirabell Gardens past the Dwarf garden and Salzburg Cathedral to Stift Nonnberg, with puzzles at every stop. The 3.9 km takes about two hours, which is too long for toddlers. Anyone who wants a live guide to ask about 1938 should book a guided tour instead.

Frequently asked questions
Does this walk follow the Von Trapp family's escape route?
Not exactly. The story is set in 1938 on the family's last day in Salzburg before they flee, so you explore the city rather than retrace the escape. The route covers ten places, from Mirabell Gardens via Salzburg Cathedral and Stift Nonnberg to the Burgermeisterloch.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Mirabell Gardens and finishes at the Burgermeisterloch. It is a one-way route, not a loop. In between you pass the Pegasus fountain, the Dwarf garden, the Salzburger Marionettentheater, Karajan's house, Sterngäßchen, the Pferdschwemme, Salzburg Cathedral and Stift Nonnberg.
How long does it take, and can we take a break?
Most players take about two hours over 3.9 km, walking and puzzles included. There is no time slot to book, so you can start whenever suits you. You can pause for a snack or a rest and continue later from where you stopped.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes. It is tagged kid friendly and written as a family story in which you lead the seven Von Trapp children through the city. It suits primary-school-age children best, because the walk covers 3.9 km and takes about two hours.
Can we play as a family group?
Yes. One ticket covers the whole group playing together, so everyone can follow the clues side by side. There is no guide and no other group to meet. The quest is best played during the day.
Is The Last Song in Salzburg: A Family Quest self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you without a tour guide or fixed departure.
