Austria · SOUND OF MUSIC FILMING LOCATIONS
29 reviewed
The film locations are real places scattered across Salzburg and the Salzkammergut, and most of them are a bus ride apart. Best first: the original four-hour coach tour, the small-group and bike versions, plus the versions that bolt on Hallstatt or the salt mines. Which ones actually stop at Leopoldskron and Mondsee, which only slow down for a photo, and what the seat costs.
Ride Salzburg’s filming route with live narration, sing-alongs, and scenic lake views, plus free time in Mondsee to visit the wedding church.

“This hotel is perfect for celebrating a special occasion. My daughter graduated from high school and we traveled to Salzburg to take in the sites associated with the Sound of Music. The hotel was extremely comfortable. The tour led by our tour guide, David, was out of this world. The daily breakfast on the balcony included stunning views and excellent food and service. One of the highlights for us was using bicycles to bike into town for lunch. The hotel has plenty of bikes. If your family enjoys the Sound of Music, I recommend this experience for a special occasion.”
