Mirabell Palace and Gardens
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.
Stift Nonnberg
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.
Felsenreitschule
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”. This is yet another essential stop on your private sightseeing tour. Your driver will be happy to arrange short stops for unforgettable photo opportunities.
Schloss Leopoldskron
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. Take advantage of a private transfer with our English-speaking driver, who will offer you the possibility of a short stop for original photos.
Schloss Frohnburg
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. Capture the melodic atmosphere of this place during a short stop on your one day tour.
Schloss Hellbrunn
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, and your private driver knows these places well and will be happy to make a stop for you.
Villa Trapp The original Sound of Music Family Home
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.
