Hollywood is alive and well in Salzburg, Austria.
When we visited, my sister-in-law insisted we could not forego the Sound of Music Tour. We groaned, but we followed along and ended up seeing some beautiful countryside.
Luckily, this was NOT the tour that we took.

The gazebo had been moved to a new location.
We sped by Red Bull Headquarters.
The movie wedding took place in a church outside of Salzburg in a village on a lake.
The Church
It was pink inside!
We wandered around the village for a while and came upon a shop selling traditional Austrian outfits. My son bought a beautiful jacket. He looks Austrian, now, right?
I guess they liked the movie and why not… 🙂
Sure, why not. It is part of their history after all.
I can understand why Austrians would be fond of the Sound of Music. To this day I still remember the gorgeous scenery as the backdrop.
It is a beautiful place!
I’m jealous that you got to go on the tour! I was in Salzburg over ten years ago, but in December. Not so fun with snow covering the landscape, but we still went to visit the fountain that they danced around singing the “Do Re Mi” song. Thanks for the memory.
Oh, wow, forgot about the fountain! But I’m sure Austria was beautiful in December as well.
Salzburg seems very beautiful and peaceful. I can’t wait to go there this year!
I’m sure you will like it. Have fun!
I had the chance to visit Salzburg in 2007 when I lived in Europe. You’re photos take me back to that very charming place!
It is a charming and inviting place. Thanks for stopping by!
I went on a tour similar to this during a chilly Salzburg winter. Despite the staff blasting music from the film’s soundtrack, it was fun to see the sites featured. 🙂
We had the music too and people were singing along! 🙂
