Traveler reviews
Ronald Brochu
★★★★★3 months agoWe visited Pegasus Fountain 1st, by ourselves on a late Friday afternoon, then with the Sound of Music Tour on a late Saturday afternoon then again, early Sunday morning by ourselves. Pegasus and it's surrounding grounds were magical....the three times we visited. On Friday and Saturday afternoon, everyone had a wine glass in their hand with a bottle of wine, talking and having fun! On Sunday morning, I posed for some Sound of Music scenes. Great fun!!!!! :)

★★★★★a year agoThis statue is located in the middle of a tiny pond that is adjacent to the Zwergerlgarten, which is located in the heart of Mirabell Palace. produced in 1913. Our first visit was well worth it. The background castle, in my opinion, starts to draw more attention than the horse!
