Sound of Music Tour

by GrammieMame

I've read a bunch of posts re Sound of Music tour and most people recommend Panorama Tours. Then I read it's mostly on-the-bus and you don't really get a close look at the movie locations. Is there a tour that gives you access to the places where the movie was made?

If I remember what the guide told us correctly, most of the actual residences used for the movie are currently private residences. The only real "off the bus" portions of the tour are at Hellbrunn (gazebo) and Mondsee (wedding church).

With that said, the tour is still a good way to get a feel for the city. I am in no way a fan of the movie, but I still enjoyed the tour. It was a good way to work off the jetlag if nothing else.

i am not a fan of the movie at all, but apparently multiple scenes ( at least 3 ) were made at the Maribel gardens which are free and open to all. salzburg is small enough at the city center to walk easily to most of the major attractions.

I am not a big fan of the movie, but as a child I read the real story of the Trapp-family and I am one of the very few austrians who has even seen the movie with J.Andrews! This film was never shown in Austria, but I saw it in Switzerland ;-))
Mirabellgarten is the right expression that you might need for the map, its where the fountain with the winged horse is.
A white pavillon is in the Hellbrunn-park and it has something to do with the song "I am 16,turning to 17...." or something like that.
The private home of the movie-family is a private house nowadays,its Schloss Leopoldskron but you can see it from the fortress Hohensalzburg, when looking down.
Mondsee is a bit outside of Salzburg and the busride getting there is worth the whole tour in my opinion !

and a bit about the real Trapp-family: In the Arsenal-museum in Vienna you can see the uniform of Georg von Trapp, who was the commander of one of the 7 austrian submarines in WW I

Look up Bob's Special Tours - tours on mini buses rather than huge buses so they can park easier in tourist places and the guide is much more informative than on other tours. A friendlier and cosier way to do it.

When in salzburg you have to...

by Big_Jake

When in salzburg you have to go see Mozarts house and the garden where they filmed parts of 'sound of music'. They have a Brewery/beerhall that is every man's dream, an absolute must see. Best memory would have to be the night life. Lots of pubs all on the main drag, lots of people out and about till all hours of the night.

A Short-cut...

by coceng

This photo was taken by my friend Bruno, a Salzburg native that I knew from the Net.
...We wanted to go up the Castle but Bruno said there's a short cut to the Castle....; Taking the steps in this nice forested hill...I was a bit bush....Bruno took a photo of that moment....

Talk with younger Austrians

by WrigleyTodd

Since most elderly Salzburgians are hesitant to speak English, try striking up conversation with the younger generation. They are usually very willing to talk with you. It's good practice for their mandatory English classes in school.

A city of music

by german_eagle

You know that Salzburg is a city of (mostly classical) music, don't ya? If not you'll quickly learn from the musicians playing on the streets. Even in cold winter.

This one on the picture played under one of the arcades adjacent to the cathedral. He didn't get a lot of attention and I thought he played for his own enjoyment which was a shame - he did pretty well.
