Salzburg, AUSTRIA
Airing Date: May 12th, 2007
The Sound of Music put
Salzburg on the map, and more than forty years since the movie was released, people still travel to this beautiful Austrian city because of the Hollywood classic, with almost half a million people visiting the city yearly.
The Original Sound of Music Tour (run by Panorama Tours) is the only way to discover the movie sites, as well as the real history behind the Von Trapp family of Salzburg. The people behind the tour actually drove all the movies cast around the city during filming, so they are truly in the know with the movie sites and gossip.
On the tour you'll see the
stunning hills that were 'alive with the sound of music', as well as the
gazebo with where Liesl sang 'I am sixteen going on seventeen'. Other tour stops include the
church where the wedding scene took place and the house that the Von Trapp family lived in.
Salzburg itself is the second largest city of
Austria, and the capital of the province. With its Alpine surroundings and an historic centre that was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1997, Salzburg really is just as beautiful as the city that stars in
The Sound of Music.
Panorama Tours will also show you some of the best city sights not related to the movie, making it an overall great city tour.
