Hardly anything has made Salzburg more famous in the United States and the Far East than the film version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical the Sound of Music.
This tour will take you to the places where the story of the Trapp family was filmed. The original Sound of Music tour begins in the Mirabell Gardens where Maria von Trapp and the children danced around the statue of Pegasus and sang the song Do-Re-Mi. Our next stop is in front of Leopoldskron Palace where the façade was used to represent the Trapp residence.
To the delight of those fans who, after over 35 years, still love visiting the original scenes of this classic film, the glass pavilion where Liesl sang “I am 16 going on 17" has been reconstructed in the garden of Hellbrunn Palace. We then take you past the Nonnberg convent where the baron and Maria were married in 1927 before continuing to Lake Fuschl. The landscape sequences at the start of the film were shot here and in St. Gilgen on Wolfgangsee. The beautiful church in Mondsee provided the backdrop for the wedding scenes.
During the trip you will hear the most famous tracks from the Sound of Music and come away with your own personal impressions of the life of the Trapp family and the picturesque Salzburg landscape.
