A Cinematic Connection to Salzburg

It’s the perfect year to take a Sound of Music Salzburg Tour: 2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the beloved film that continues to enchant audiences across the world. Since its premiere in 1965, The Sound of Music has captured hearts and inspired fans to visit Salzburg – the breathtaking city where the story comes to life.

A Tour that Sings – Literally

For an unforgettable experience, weTours offers the Private Sound of Maria Tour. This premium experience brings the story to life through live music, performed by two professional singers at the original filming locations. Songs like “Do-Re-Mi” and “Edelweiss” are performed right where the scenes were filmed. The tour includes highlights such as the romantic gazebo at Hellbrunn, the meadows above Hohenwerfen Fortress, and the Pegasus Fountain at Mirabell Gardens. As a result, the journey becomes much more than a sightseeing trip. It’s a heartfelt tribute to the story and its music.

Explore Salzburg Your Way

weTours offers five thoughtfully designed tour options. These range from short walking tours through Salzburg’s Old Town to full-day journeys into the Lake District. Each experience is private and flexible. Most importantly, all tours are enriched with musical moments, storytelling, and breathtaking scenery. In addition, guests can customize their tour with gourmet picnics or a personal photographer. Therefore, every moment becomes a lasting memory.
