Tour the Salzburg locations where the legendary musical The Sound of Music was filmed, immersing yourself once more in the story of the Von Trapp family and their nanny.
The Sound of Music Tour
The tour meets on Hubert-Sattler-Gasse street, where we'll begin our Sound of Music tour of Salzburg, visiting the Mirabell Gardens. This is in fact the very park where Maria, the Von Trapp's nanny, played by Julie Andrews teaches the children the famous song. Do, a deer, a female deer... you know how it goes!
The route then continues, taking a bus to the Leopoldskron Palace. The lake found next to this majestic historic building was also the scene of numerous scenes from the film. Do you remember which takes came from the Leopoldskron?
From here, we head to Hellbrunn Palace, where the famous song Sixteen Going on Seventeen and the scene where Maria and Baron Von Trapp kiss was filmed. Our next stop will take place in front of the Nonnberg Abbey, a monument intrinsically linked with the Von Trapp family.
From the historic center of Salzburg, we then set off to enjoy the bucolic landscapes of Lake Wolfgang and Lake Fuschl. These green landscapes were where the opening scenes of The Sound of Music were recorded.
Then to finish the tour we make our way to the town of Mondsee, where we'll take a look inside the church that hosted the long-awaited wedding in the film. Don't worry, there won't be any spoilers for anyone who's yet to see the film!
Finally, with the sound of music ringing in our ears, we'll head back to Salzburg where the tour ends.
