Built as a token of Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich's love for his mistress, Mirabell Palace is perhaps best known as the backdrop of "The Sound of Music." The former palace was built in 1606 and now houses the offices of the mayor and municipal council. The boxwood gardens contain mythology-themed statues from 1730, as well as four groups of sculptures representing the four elements. If you're a fan of "The Sound of Music," don't miss the horse fountain, where the von Trapp children sang "Do-Re-Mi." A stroll through the gardens will jog many memories from the film.

June 30, 2017Impressive open space with lawns, flower beds, many sculptures and fountains. Many interesting buildings surround the gardens. Many benches for seating in the shade on a sunny day. There is an ice cream stall and small cafe. WC near entrance level ground through out mainly laid to gravel path.

June 10, 2017Beautifully maintained gardens. Much bigger than it initially looks, with myriad passages and a lot of entry ways. Summer sees the garden in full bloom and green in all its glory. Fans of The Sound of Music must not miss an opportunity to visit this place as a lot of scenes from the movie were shot here. Of course to remember the scenes, do watch the movie before visiting!

June 14, 2017A nice place to rest a bit or simply enjoy architecture. A lot of people there and not so big so it may disturb. But it's worth seeing for tourists.

June 18, 2017Passed through the gardens on the way to the older parts of the city. Nice but the best part was the statues. Laid out nice and a leisurely stroll.
