Sound of Music Filming Locations in Salzburg

May 3, 2026 · 5 min read

Sixty years on, fans still come to Salzburg to walk through the film. Here are the real locations — and where to find them.

Mirabell Gardens

The “Do-Re-Mi” finale was filmed here, on the steps and around the Pegasus fountain. Free to visit and gorgeous in summer.

Schloss Leopoldskron & Hellbrunn

The lake-facing terrace stood in for the Villa Trapp; the famous glass gazebo (“Sixteen Going on Seventeen”) now stands in the Hellbrunn Palace park.

Nonnberg Abbey

The real abbey where Maria was a novice — and a filming location — sits just below the fortress.

Mondsee

Just outside the city, the basilica at Mondsee is where Maria and the Captain were married on screen.

Make a day of it

Mondsee sits right on the road to the Salzkammergut. Combine the film locations with the lakes on our Salzkammergut Lakes tour.
