Step into the world of one of cinema’s most beloved musicals with a private Sound of Music tour from Vienna to Salzburg. This experience combines comfort, history, and film nostalgia, taking you to the heart of the city where the magic happened.
In Salzburg, you’ll explore the Mirabell Gardens, where Maria and the children sang “Do-Re-Mi” among the fountains and flowerbeds. Cross the Mozartsteg Bridge, just as they did in the film, and wander into the Residenzplatz Square, where Maria joyfully sang “I Have Confidence.” At the Nonnberg Abbey, see the historic gates where Maria began her journey to the von Trapp family, a place still filled with centuries of tradition.
No Sound of Music tour is complete without a visit to the Leopoldskron Palace, the stunning exterior of the von Trapp villa reflected in the tranquil waters of its lake. Nearby, the romantic Hellbrunn Palace gardens house the famous glass gazebo where Liesl and Rolf sang “Sixteen Going on Seventeen.”
