Salzburg - Welcome to Salzburg, the City of Music and the home of The Sound of Music!
Follow in the footsteps of Maria and the von Trapp family as you explore Salzburg’s most beautiful sights and famous filming locations. From charming gardens and elegant palaces to mountain views and historic squares, this tour brings the magic of the beloved movie to life right where it all happened. - Schloss Hellbrunn - Visit the famous “16 Going on 17” pavilion in the gardens of Hellbrunn Palace, one of the most iconic filming locations of The Sound of Music. Walk around the peaceful park and relive the romantic scene between Liesl and Rolf.
- Schloss Frohnburg - See the exterior of Schloss Frohnburg, used as the façade of the von Trapp family home in the movie. The palace, located along Hellbrunner Allee, perfectly captures the elegant atmosphere of the film’s opening family scenes.
- Mirabell Palace and Gardens - Stroll through the stunning Mirabell Gardens, where Maria and the children sang “Do-Re-Mi.” Follow in their footsteps along the Pegasus Fountain, the vine tunnel, and the garden steps — one of the most joyful scenes in the movie.
