Walking tour in Salzburg
The Sound of Music Tour by Panorama Tours is one of the most famous guided tours in Europe. A half-day bus tour visiting the filming locations from the 1965 movie, including Mirabell Gardens, Leopoldskron Palace, the Nonnberg Abbey viewpoint, and the church in Mondsee. NoCostNomad does not pretend this is a budget activity. But for many visitors, this IS Salzburg. It has been running for decades and is not going anywhere. Budget travelers who want to skip it should at least know it exists, because their hostel roommates will be talking about it.
Practical
The route
Each stop is free to stand in front of, whatever the tour costs.
The formal baroque gardens adjoining Mirabell Palace, freely accessible to all visitors. Franz Anton Danreiter created the definitive layout around 1730. Famous as the location where Julie Andrews performed "Do-Re-Mi" in The Sound of Music. The view toward Hohensalzburg Fortress is one of the most photographed scenes in the city.
Everything else Salzburg costs.
