The world’s perception of Salzburg is due to the incomparable magic of the silhouette of the city, the beauty of the landscape and for sure the fortune that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756 in this city.
Furthermore, the architecture and harmony of the old quarter of the city at either side of the river Salzach, encouraged UNESCO to declare the historic district a humanitarian heritage site in 1997.

The Most Important Film

Visitors from all over the world use the opportunity to see the locations in the city of Salzburg, where the film 'The Sound of Music' was shot.

If you want to test the movies worldwide popularity, just start humming a few of the famous tunes and songs like 'Edelweiss' wherever on the planet you just happen to be - and within a moment you will be joined by complete strangers in a merry 'The Sound of Music Chorus'.

If you visit Salzburg, here are the locations where the film was shot:

The Benedictine Convent on Nonnberg: it is here that nuns sing 'Maria'

Mirabell Gardens and Mirabell Palace : Maria and the children sing 'Do-Re-Mi'

Residenz Square and Residenz Fountain : Maria crosses Residenz square in a bus on her way from Nonnberg Convent to the Trapp Villa singing 'I have confidence in me'

Felsenreitschule: here, the Trapp Family performed its farewell song and Baron von Trapp sang Edelweiss

St. Peter's Cemetery : it was here that the dramatic flight scenes were filmed.

Leopoldskron Palace: the façade facing the lake represented the von Trapp residence

The Sound of Music Pavillon: can be found at Hellbrunn Palace today, in the movie it was still located at Leopoldskron Palace. One of the most famous and romantic scenes was filmed here: 'I am 16 going on 17'
