Overview

Salzburg is known for its connection to the film The Sound of Music, with many scenes shot in and around the city. This four-hour bus tour visits key locations featured in the movie as well as notable landmarks and parts of the lake district nearby. The tour includes commentary from an English-speaking guide who explains the film sites and historical points of interest. The tour begins with a stop at Schloss Mirabell and the Mirabellgarten, where the "Do-Re-Mi" song was filmed. Visitors see the Pegasus Fountain and the famous steps from the scene. Next, there is a photo stop at Lake Leopoldskron, known for its reflection of the palace and the boating scene filmed there, though guests do not enter the palace grounds. The following stop is Schloss Hellbrunn gardens, where the glass gazebo from the kissing scene is located; the palace and trick fountains are not visited. The route then passes by Stift Nonnberg, the abbey where Maria was a novice and later married Baron von Trapp. The tour continues through the lake district, passing Lake Fuschl and Lake Wolfgang, with a brief photo stop at Lake Wolfgang offering views of the lake and Alpine mountains. Finally, the tour reaches Mondsee, where guests have about an hour of free time. Here, visitors can choose to visit the Basilika St. Michael, the church where Maria and Baron von Trapp's wedding scene was filmed. The tour includes air-conditioned transport and live guiding throughout. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included.
