Mirabell Palace Gardens Proposal in Salzburg

Baroque parterres framing the fortress on the hill.

A Little History

The story first.

Built in 1606 and redesigned in baroque form, the Mirabell gardens are Salzburg's most famous — geometric parterres, the Pegasus fountain and the rose garden made world-famous by The Sound of Music, all aligned on the fortress beyond.

Why It's Romantic

The atmosphere you're proposing into.

Flower parterres, hedged arbours, marble statues and fountains, with Hohensalzburg fortress crowning the view — arguably the most photographed proposal backdrop in the Alps.
