Description:

Bring the movie to life with a half-day tour of the most recognizable sights from The Sound of Music. With the famous soundtrack providing an ideal backdrop, see the attractive highlights and fabulous architecture of the city center before heading into the countryside to the charming Lake District.

Begin your tour at the 18th-century Mirabell Gardens. The Pegasus Fountain makes it instantly recognizable as the location for the song “Do-Re-Mi.” Continue to Leopoldskron Palace and onto Hellbrunn Palace where the well-known gazebo has been rebuilt—reminisce about the kissing scene between Maria and Baron von Trapp that took place here.

After visiting Nonnberg Abbey—the location of the marriage between the real-life von Trapps—leave the city behind to admire the stunning landscapes east of Salzburg. Gaze out over Lake Wolfgang flanked by mountains—an inspiring sight. Say “So Long, Farewell” at Mondsee, the site of the striking church used in the film for the wedding scene.
