Railbookers runs this 7-day, 6-night rail journey through Munich, Salzburg, and Innsbruck, spending two nights in each city with first-class rail travel connecting them. Day 2 in Munich combines a hop-on, hop-off city tour with a two-hour walking tour past the Glockenspiel, Frauenkirche Cathedral, and the English Garden. The train carries you to Salzburg on day 3 for an afternoon Sound of Music Tour, and day 4 is left free to explore the UNESCO-listed Baroque Old Town, Mozart's birthplace, and Festung Hohensalzburg. On day 5, the train continues to Innsbruck, where a round-trip cable car climbs to the Nordkette for views of the Austrian mountains. Day 6 closes with a guided tour of Innsbruck's Gothic city centre, the Golden Roof, and the Hofburg. The trip suits travelers who want a straightforward, guided route through three Alpine cities without long overland transfers.
