The queer city tour takes place at fixed dates throughout the year. – a walk through the beautiful city on the Salzach in the footsteps of our ancestors. A city tour with a difference.

As in Berlin, Vienna or London, there are also queer city tours in Salzburg. These take you to places where homosexual personalities are known to have worked and played a significant role in shaping the city’s fate.

It is no wonder that homosexuals have actively influenced the 1000-year history of Salzburg. Because even a long time ago, Salzburg attracted people of all mental colours. The city’s location north of the Alps has always had strategic importance.

A different kind of city tour

Roman Forisch, a native of Salzburg and certified Austria Guide, has developed queer city tours in this exciting historical setting. These take place on fixed dates, usually on the first Saturday of the month. A glance at our calendar of events provides information.

Roman sets off on his guided city tour 11 a.m. in front of the HOSI bar at Franz-Josef-Straße 22. Through the Andräviertel to Mirabell Palace and on to the other side of the Salzach to the old town.

Two instructive and entertaining hours in the footsteps of Bishop Arn, Archduke Ludwig Viktor, Alexander von Humboldt or Georg Trakl – to name but a few. And two hours in which the past can explain today.

Roman Forisch in conversation with gaysalzburg.at Participation in the queer city tour costs 15€. For registrations for the dates mentioned or for other date requests, please send an email to info@austria-guides.eu.
