Follow in the footsteps of the Von Trapp family and relive the classic movie on the Sound of Music tour.

See the Mirabell Palace and gardens, where Maria and the children sing Do-Re-Mi and Residenz Square, which Maria crosses by bus from Nonnberg Abbey – where the real life Maria and Baron von Trapp were married in 1927 – on her way to the Trapp Villa singing I have confidence in me.

The Rock Riding School is a particularly significant location as the real life Trapp family sang there before they fled Austria following the Nazi takeover. In the film, they sing Do-Re-Mi, Edelweiss and So Long, Farewell in a memorable scene. Leopoldskron Palace was used as the Von Trapp family home and while the gazebo used for the famous ‘I am 16 going on 17' scene was here in the film, it is actually at the Hellbrunn Palace.

Head out of town before finishing this part of the tour and visit the beautiful church at Mondsee, where the wedding scene was shot.

Continue on to visit one of the salt mines that are central to the history of Salzburg, which means ‘salt fortress’. At the mine, receive protective clothing to keep warm – and to look the real deal!

Travel in a former miners’ train into the heart of the mountain and discover this secret world of kilometres-long labyrinths. Have fun on the miners' slides, enjoy a raft cruise across a subterranean salt lake with a multimedia show that will not light up the underground lake but also your hearts.
