Meet your guide and begin your Salzburg sightseeing tour at Mirabell Square, where you'll pass Mirabell Palace and its magnificent Baroque gardens, which you may recognize if you’re a fan of the film version of The Sound of Music.

More film sites from The Sound of Music are up next: pass by the Rock Riding School where Captain von Trapp sang ‘Edelweiss’ while the family began their escape; Nonnberg Abbey, where Maria was planning to become a nun; and Schloss Leopoldskron, a palace on whose grounds many of the outdoor scenes of the Von Trapp family home were filmed.

Finally, your tour ends at Restaurant M32, where you’ll sit down to a hot cup of coffee and piece of cake on its panoramic terrace. While you eat, enjoy splendid views over Salzburg, admiring Fortress Hohensalzburg and soaking up the atmosphere of this fairytale-like city.
