      Salzburg Film Location Tour

      The Original Sound of Music Tour and Edelweiss Cooking Class

      Walk in Julie Andrews' footsteps across Salzburg's iconic filming locations, then learn to cook a classic Austrian dish.

      The Original Sound of Music Tour Salzburg brings together the most celebrated filming locations from the 1965 classic film and pairs them with a hands-on Edelweiss cooking class for a full-day experience unlike any other in Austria.

      Salzburg Panorama Tours holds the distinction of having transported the original film crew to these very locations back in 1964, giving this operator an unmatched historical connection to the movie. Over the course of seven hours, a live guide leads visitors through palaces, abbey gates, lakeside gardens, and a picturesque wedding church while sharing verified facts about the film, the Trapp family, and the city's architectural heritage.

      The route extends beyond the city center into the Salzburg Lake District, passing Lake Fuschl and Lake Wolfgang before reaching St. Gilgen and the wedding chapel in Mondsee. The journey covers both urban landmarks and rural countryside, offering a balanced portrait of the region that served as the backdrop for one of cinema's most recognized productions.

      After the sightseeing portion concludes, guests participate in an Edelweiss cooking class where they prepare a traditional Austrian recipe, connecting the cultural thread of the tour to the local culinary tradition.

      Visit the original Do-Re-Mi steps and Pegasus Fountain at Mirabell Gardens where iconic scenes were filmed.

      View Leopoldskron Palace from the lakeside, the stand-in for the von Trapp family home in the film.

      Walk to the front gate of Nonnberg Abbey, the real convent where Maria von Trapp lived as a novice.

      Travel through the Salzburg Lake District with panoramic stops at Lake Wolfgang and St. Gilgen.

      Step inside the Mondsee wedding chapel where Maria and the Captain's marriage scene was filmed.
