Overview

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.”

Activity itinerary

Mirabell Palace Concerts
  • 20m
Famous for the “Do-Re-Mi” scene where Maria and the children sing on the steps. Beautiful baroque gardens, flowers, and a perfect photo spot with the fortress in the background.
Nonnberg Convent
  • 15m
Visit the historic Nonnberg Abbey, where the real Maria was a postulant. The abbey gates appear in the film as she departs for the von Trapp villa. Founded in the 8th century, it is the oldest convent north of the Alps and still home to Benedictine nuns today.
Residenzplatz Market
  • 15m
Stand in Salzburg’s grand Residenzplatz, where Maria sang “I Have Confidence.” Surrounded by baroque palaces and Salzburg Cathedral, the square captures both the film’s energy and the city’s historic atmosphere, making it a must-see stop.
Schloss Leopoldskron
  • 15m
Gaze across the lake at Leopoldskron Palace, whose elegant façade and gardens became the backdrop for the von Trapp family villa. Although privately owned, its mirrored lakeside view is one of the most famous images from the film.
Schloss Hellbrunn
  • 15m
See the romantic “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” gazebo at Hellbrunn Palace, one of the most beloved Sound of Music filming spots. Nestled in beautiful palace gardens, the glass pavilion is a highlight for fans and a perfect photo opportunity.
Salzburg
  • 3h
Upon arriving in Salzburg, start your exploration with a visit to the magnificent Mirabell Gardens. These gardens, part of the Mirabell Palace, are a masterpiece of baroque landscape architecture and offer a splendid array of beautifully manicured lawns, colourful flowerbeds, and ornate statues. The gardens also provide stunning views of the Hohensalzburg Fortress, perched high above the city, making it a perfect spot for photos. Your tour will continue through Salzburg’s charming old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll marvel at the well-preserved baroque architecture and historic landmarks.
