Yes, in part. The film's von Trapp villa interiors never existed as one house, but the famous gazebo survives at Hellbrunn beside a new Sound of Music Salzburg museum. A 4-hour Original Sound of Music Tour from €70 also covers Mirabell Gardens, Leopoldskron, Nonnberg Abbey, and Mondsee Cathedral.
The 1965 film stitched together several properties to create the von Trapp villa, so there is no single house to tour. Schloss Leopoldskron stood in for the rear exterior and the lake boat scene, but it is a private hotel, so viewing is limited to the lakeside path. Nonnberg Abbey, used for Maria's convent exteriors, is free to visit and open from 7am to dusk.
The one physical set piece you can walk right up to is the gazebo at Hellbrunn, relocated there after filming and used for the Sixteen Going on Seventeen and Something Good scenes. It now sits locked for preservation after past visitor damage. Since September 20, 2026 it has a neighbor: the seasonal Sound of Music Salzburg museum, run as part of Salzburg Museum in the carriage house, hunter's lodge, and gamekeeper's house.
Admission to the museum costs €8 for adults, €4.80 reduced, €16 for families, and is free for children under 6 and SalzburgCard holders. A visit including the gazebo takes roughly an hour, though the museum is seasonal and closed over winter before reopening in March 2027.
The Original Sound of Music Tour by Salzburg Panorama Tours runs about 4 hours, departing daily at 9:15am and 2pm from €70. It visits Mirabell Gardens, where the Do-Re-Mi sequence was filmed around the Pegasus Fountain and steps, then continues to Leopoldskron Palace, the Hellbrunn gazebo, Nonnberg Abbey, and Mondsee Cathedral, the wedding scene location, which is open daily 8am to 7pm and free to enter.
The tour is recommended by Rick Steves and appears in the official extras on the film's DVD and Blu-ray releases. For travelers who want to go independently, Mirabell Gardens are free and open sunrise to sunset, and bus line 25 reaches the Schloss Hellbrunn stop in about 25 to 30 minutes from the center.
The Sound of Music Salzburg museum sits at Fürstenweg 33, 35 in Salzburg, adjacent to the Hellbrunn park gazebo. Beyond bus line 25, visitors can arrive by boat or by car via Fürstenweg near the Salzburg-Süd motorway exit, with parking available on site.
Opening hours vary by season: 9:30am to 5:30pm in April and October, 9:30am to 6:30pm from May to June and in September, and 9:30am to 7pm in July and August. Advance tickets through the online shop are recommended, and private guided tours of 40 minutes are available for a €65 flat fee plus admission, with a minimum age of 6.
Most visitors choose the standard 4-hour public tour of filming locations, which covers all the major sites in one loop from central Salzburg. Two bookable variants add extra appeal: one combines the Sound of Music itinerary with a trip to Hallstatt, and another adds a schnitzel and noodle lunch, a nod to a line from the film's most famous song.
All three options start in Salzburg, so the choice comes down to whether travelers want a straightforward filming-location loop, a full-day combination with the lakes region, or a food pairing built into the day.

Original Sound of Music Tour Salzburg With Schnitzel and Noodle
Same filming-location itinerary plus a schnitzel and noodle lunch, echoing one of the film's best-known lyrics.
No single film house exists. The exteriors used Leopoldskron and other properties, and Leopoldskron is now a private hotel viewable only from the lakeside path. The closest thing to a von Trapp house visit is the gazebo and the Sound of Music Salzburg museum at Hellbrunn.
Museum admission is €8 for adults, €4.80 reduced, and €16 for families, free for children under 6 and SalzburgCard holders, as of September 2026. The Original Sound of Music Tour covering multiple sites starts at €70.
No. The gazebo at Hellbrunn is kept locked for preservation after repeated visitor damage. It can be viewed and photographed from outside at any time during park hours.
