The 15 Best Sound of Music Tours in Salzburg

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.

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.”
