Relive the making of the 1965 award-winning movie 'The Sound of Music in and around Salzburg as you take a tour of many of the famous filming locations and learn not only about the background story of the movie but also the history, culture, and the social and historical contexts of the area in the late 1930s.
See the Mirabell Palace and gardens, where Maria and the children sing Do-Re-Mi and Residenz Square, which Maria crosses by bus from Nonnberg Abbey – where the real-life Maria and Baron von Trapp were married in 1927 – on her way to the Trapp Villa singing I have confidence in me.
In the film, they sing Do-Re-Mi, Edelweiss and So Long, Farewell in a memorable scene. Leopoldskron Palace was used as the Von Trapp family home and while the gazebo used for the famous ‘I am 16 going on 17' scene was here in the film, it is actually at the Hellbrunn Palace.
Head to the countryside around Salzburg to visit locations such as the village of St Gilgen on Lake Wolfgang, which features in the opening credits, and the church at Mondsee, where the wedding scene was shot.
Relax and listen to the Original Sound of Music soundtrack and of course, feel free to sing along Edelweiss and many more... Our live guide will tell you everything you need to know about The Sound of Music, the Trapp Family, the film locations and the shooting.
