The hills are alive….with the sound of music. I mean you just have to sing it upon your arrival into Salzburg. One of the main reasons why I choose Austria as my first solo trip, was because of my favorite movie of all time. I simply just had to visit this beautiful city. It surely did not disappoint. Just take a look! My dreams were fulfilled when I took a tour to see the locations from the Sound of Music. As a super fan I was a bit disappointed that we could not get out and see every location. The picture above is now a hotel. I guess they do not want a ton of tourist daily on their property. Which is fine, because I loved the far away view. But, I was sad that we could not go to the Abby. They like to keep it private. I get that but stopping outside the gates would have been cool. We also rode by the entrance to the Von Trapp house. Come on! No picture here either. One of the biggest things I wanted to achieve with this tour, was to twirl on the same mountain as Julie Andrews. You guessed it! Could not do that either as that was shot in a different location that was hours away from Salzburg. Although I saw some incredible sights I was very disappointed with all the things I did not get to see. So if this is on your list as well just be forewarned. Ok now back to the beauty and highlights of that day. This is the lake view that is nearby the church where the Von Trapps got married. It was absolutely stunning! Although I was disappointed by all the things I did not see, there would be no way that I could all of it done by myself. You could rent a car and try, but the tour is just easier. Something is better than nothing right? I of course enjoyed everything I did get to do. If you have any questions. Just let me know :)
