If you're heading to Salzburg, there's one experience you absolutely shouldn’t miss—especially if you grew up loving musicals.
This charming Austrian city was the filming location of The Sound of Music, one of the most beloved movies in the world.

And now, you can relive its magic with The Original Sound of Music® Tour, a half-day journey led by an English-speaking guide who takes you through the movie’s most iconic scenes and hidden locations.

Whether you're a long-time fan or watching it for the first time, this tour blends film nostalgia with real-world beauty—surrounding you with mountains, gardens, and lakes that feel like they came straight from a dream.

Before you go, we recommend watching the movie again.
Every stop will feel even more magical when the music is already in your heart.


What You'll Visit on the Tour

Mirabell Gardens – The joyful Do-Re-Mi scene
The Pegasus Fountain and grand steps here were the backdrop for the famous Do-Re-Mi sequence. You’ll probably find yourself humming the song while walking through the beautifully kept flowers. Spring and summer make this garden even more enchanting.

Leopoldskron Palace – The von Trapp family villa (exterior)
This lakeside palace provided the stunning exterior of the von Trapp home. You'll recognize the place where the children fell into the lake, and see the romantic views that framed their family story. The reflection of the palace on the water is picture-perfect.

Hellbrunn Palace – The Glass Gazebo from 16 Going on 17
Remember Liesl and Rolf's sweet duet? The original gazebo from that scene has been relocated to the gardens of Hellbrunn Palace. While it’s no longer accessible inside, you can stand right next to it, and imagine the romance unfolding again.

Nonnberg Abbey – Where Maria’s story begins
This is the real-life convent where the actual Maria von Trapp lived. The bus drives past the exterior of this sacred place—just like in the movie—giving you a quiet moment to reflect on where the story all began.

Mondsee Cathedral – The wedding location
Located about 30 minutes outside Salzburg, this church was used for the grand wedding scene between Maria and Captain von Trapp. Its baroque interior is breathtaking, and many visitors say this is their favorite moment of the tour.

Salzburg Lake District (Salzkammergut) – Opening scene panorama
The tour finishes with a scenic drive through the rolling hills and shimmering lakes you saw in the film’s opening aerial shots. It’s the perfect end to a tour that bridges cinema and nature.
