What to expect

  1. Schloss Mirabell & Mirabellgarten
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    The iconic song "Do Re, Mi" was partly recorded at Mirabell Palace. A visit to the gardens will bring back memories of Maria and the von Trapp children dancing around the Pegasus Fountain, jumping up and down the steps and running through the hedge tunnel. Your private driver is delighted to arrange brief stop for capturing unforgettable photos.
  2. Stift Nonnberg
    1h
    Nonnberg Abbey is the oldest convent north of the Alps and is where the real Maria became a novice nun and married Georg von Trapp. Four scenes from the film were filmed here: the scene where the nuns sing "Maria" in the courtyard, Maria leaving the abbey, the children visiting her at the abbey and the Nazis hunting the von Trapps. Your local driver is ready to create short stop for those perfect photos.
  3. Felsenreitschule
    30m
    The Rock Riding School (Felsenreitschule) is Salzburg’s most popular concert venue and it’s where the real von Trapp family won the Salzburg Music Festival in 1936. Fans will recognise this location from the scene where the Captain sings “Edelweiss” and his family joins him on stage to sing “So Long, Farewell”.
  4. Schloss Leopoldskron
    1h
    Leopoldskron Palace is one of the most important filming locations of The Sound of Music, which you should not miss on your themed day trip. The majestic palace and perfect backdrops overlooking the lake served as the main location for filming all the scenes on the lake terrace of the Von Trapp family home. Today, the palace is a boutique hotel.
  5. Schloss Frohnburg
    1h
    Frohnburg Palace played an important role in the Sound of Music as it was one of the two filming locations for the von Trapp Villa. Once a private residence, the palace is now a Music Academy.
  6. Villa Trapp
    30m
    Although was not a filming location, it would be a shame to miss it on your day trip. The real von Trapp family lived here for 15 years. They managed to board a train at the nearby station to escape the Nazis the day before the Austrian borders were closed. Today, the von Trapp villa is a hotel and an educational Sound of Music museum about the real von Trapp family, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the movie. Capture the moment with a brief photo stop, just one of the exclusive perks awaiting you with our private transfer services.
  7. Schloss Hellbrunn
    1h
    Just outside the city centre is Hellbrunn Palace, home of the Sound of Music pavilion. This is where a romantic scene from The Sound of Music was filmed, when Liesl gets her first kiss while singing "16 going on 17". Visitors cannot enter the pavilion, but they can take as many pictures as they like around it.
