Salzburg is the birth place of Mozart. His family lived in a third floor apartment in this yellow building, now a museum. Along we went - it was very interesting and gave a comprehensive overview of Mozart and his life.
Photos were not permitted, so only pic I have is of the outside.
And there is a statue of him in Mozartplatz.
We took a tour to see the locations where the Sound of Music was filmed. But the 4 hours was so much more! The tour guide was full of knowledge about the making of the film, all put together with a wry sense of humour and a sing-a-long during the bus ride.
There was a dedicated bus.
The abbey in the movie. You can just make out the archway - marked with an arrow.
The lane where Julie Andrews skips along singing "I have confidence".
A gazebo - this is a smaller one used for background shots only. The one used in the movie (where Leisl and Rolf sing "16 going on 17") was larger.
This was the lake where the children, and Maria, fell out of the boat. The producers had hoped to use the house, but the owners refused permission to remove some of the trees to help filming. So they used the lake and put other houses in the background.
The church at Monsee - used in the film where Georg and Maria were married.
And inside
And lovely views of the mountains and lakes.
And us.
What else did I learn? How much work goes into preparing for a movie.
