Why Go

The 1965 film was shot around Salzburg. The lakeside terrace of Leopoldskron palace played the von Trapp villa's garden, the gazebo now stands at Hellbrunn, and the wedding was filmed in the basilica at Mondsee.

Bus tours take about four hours and include the lakes of the Salzkammergut; guided bike tours cover the sites in the city.
