Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Short visit to the Mirabell Gardens, either before or after the tour. Jump up and down the Do-Re-Mi steps and see the famous Pegasus fountain, where Maria and the Von Trapp kids danced around. Also, don’t miss the hedge maze tunnel on your right when walking towards the fortress for more breathtaking views of the city of Salzburg.

Stop 2

Photo stop at Schloss Leopoldskron. Enjoy from across the lake the beautiful view of the palace and the fortress as picture-perfect backdrop.
Although the interior shootings were done in the studios, Hollywood used the beautiful Rococo Palace terrace as the perfect setting for Maria and the Baron dancing during the ball scene. The lake is also famous for the boat scene, where Maria and the children fell off the boat.

Photo stop at Hellbrunn Park, see the Original Gazebo, capturing the most romantic scene during the Sound of Music film when Liesl gets her first kiss while singing 16 going on 17.

At Mondsee you will visit the beautiful Basilica of St. Michael where Maria and Georg von Trapp got married in the movie: a must-see for any Sound of Music fan.
Also, make sure to taste some apple strudel - before you make your own - while exploring this picturesque lakeside town during your 50 minutes of free time.

After your Original Sound of Music Tour singing Edelweiss and My Favorite Things, it's time for making your own apple strudel.
