The Hills are Alive! (photo illustration credit: Jason Brewington)
Yes, Salzburg is the setting for The Sound of Music. Although there are plenty of tour companies selling “Sound of Music Tours”, we didn’t take any. I just saw the movie last weekend for the first time ever. It was fun to pick out places in Salzburg that we visited while watching the movie:
– The pegasus statue and dwarf garden in Mirabell Gardens
– The Horse Baths
– Mozart Square
– The Cathedral
– The Mozart foot bridge over the Salzach river
– A staircase that ran alongside the Mönchsberg
– General city scapes
And probably more that we didn’t catch.
