Hellbrunn Palace is a 17th-century pleasure palace just outside Salzburg's old town, famous above all for its trick fountains — concealed water jets built to playfully soak unsuspecting guests, a joke Prince-Archbishop Markus Sittikus reportedly delighted in playing on visitors 400 years ago. A guided tour walks visitors through the gardens and grottoes where the fountains still catch people off guard today.
