Discover the fascinating connection between Salzburg and the film "The Sound of Music" and find out why this classic is less known here.
Why Salzburg’s most famous film is hardly known – The Truth!”
Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, attracts tourists from all over the world. The reason? The film “The Sound of Music” from 1965 often triggers travel plans, even if the film is comparatively little known in this country. As the South German newspaper reports, it is the city's breathtaking scenery and the magnificent views of the Eastern Alps that magically attract visitors.
On a gray and cool autumn day, a tour bus makes its way through the suburban streets of Salzburg. Despite the cloudy weather, the 50 passengers are exuberant. The tour guide Connor has a CD with the immortal melodies from the film and almost everyone sings along enthusiastically. An invigorating experience that shows how the film still reaches people's hearts even after more than 50 years.
