In addition to its Sound of Music fame, the Mirabell Palace is also where Mozart would play private concerts as a child.Īs you enter the Mirabell Palace Gardens from the South, you will recognize the two impressive pairs of Greek fencing statutes from The Sound of Music movie as the Von Trapp children had mimicked their playful poses.

Because the grounds are open early every day, they are the perfect place to start our free Sound of Music movie tour in Salzburg.
