But in most of the world, knowledge about Salzburg is mainly based on the film adaptation of a hit Broadway musical, which in its time was about as successful as Titanic was in the nineties. Back then, around one billion people saw <em>The Sound of Music<\/em>. Most Austrians, however, haven\u2019t actually seen it and only know about its existence through word of mouth. The American blockbuster, based on a true story, appeared in 1965 and tells the tale of the endearing Maria, who lives in Salzburg and who conquers the hearts of the von Trapp family with music and love. Besides Julie Andrews as the singing main character, the breathtakingly beautiful city of Salzburg and its striking surroundings play an important role. Even the harshest critics of the sentimental story cannot deny the visual beauty of the city.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6068\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6068\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6068 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04.jpg\" alt=\"Sbg-erkunden_(c)Salzburg-Tourismus_04\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04.jpg 1623w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-1440x958.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-600x399.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/681;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6068\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04.jpg\" alt=\"Sbg-erkunden_(c)Salzburg-Tourismus_04\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04.jpg 1623w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-1440x958.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Sbg-erkunden_cSalzburg-Tourismus_04-600x399.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6068\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Salzburg Tourismus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The scenery depicted in the film isn\u2019t far from reality.

It watches over the old city district of Salzburg, the <em>Altstadt <\/em>(old town), which in December 1996 was registered on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites and has a prominent position on the must-see list of most visitors. The picturesque cityscape is never spoilt by a modernist structure: the medieval and baroque monuments are elegantly interwoven with towers and domes to create a unique architectural mosaic. The narrow streets with their cobblestones, ornamented facades and cosy caf\u00e9s resemble the Diagon Alley from the Harry Potter universe, though wizards and witches will be hard to spot. Carriages drawn by snorting horses with clattering hooves will entice you to go for a scenic drive, and in winter the air is scented with warm chestnuts and steaming mulled wine. It\u2019s a sensory bombardment of the nostrils, taste buds and eyes alike.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6059 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large.jpg\" alt=\"iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large.jpg 1630w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-1536x1018.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-1440x954.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-1200x795.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-600x398.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/678;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6059\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large.jpg\" alt=\"iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large.jpg 1630w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-1536x1018.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-1440x954.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-1200x795.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Mapics_000049394674_Large-600x398.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Altstadt<\/em> is full of sights upon sights: museums, colourful market stands and magnificent churches. Close to the famous fortress, you will find the convent of <em>Nonnberg<\/em>, which has existed since the Carolingian age and furthermore served as the home of Maria from <em>The Sound of Music<\/em>, before she moved in with the von Trapps. With its 900 seats and at 100 meters in length, the Salzburg Cathedral is equally impressive and constitutes the religious centre of the city. For more secular entertainment, the plentiful classical and more unconventional museums will satisfy any cultural appetite, with everything from Mozart to toys.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The bustling Getreidegasse<\/h2>\n<p>The narrow houses leaning against each other, the artfully decorated doors and countless wrought-iron guild signs all give the<em> Getreidegasse<\/em> its unmistakable originality. The main artery of the Altstadt combines traditional crafts with a modern shopping street and is home not only to Salzburg\u2019s oldest building but was also the birthplace of Mozart. The historic iron insignia of the old guilds have to share the street with the increasing number of modern brands, though some businesses have made a creative effort to fit contemporary corporate logos into the style of the guild signs. From the <em>Getreidegasse<\/em>, there are several passages leading to charming courtyards. The idyllic shops and caf\u00e9s are often frequented by the locals and have plenty to offer if you want to pass the time or spoil yourself with a traditional treat.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6058\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6058\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6058 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Flavio-Vallenari_000017851140_Full.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Flavio Vallenari\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Flavio-Vallenari_000017851140_Full.jpg 720w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Flavio-Vallenari_000017851140_Full-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Flavio-Vallenari_000017851140_Full-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/iStock_Flavio-Vallenari_000017851140_Full-600x900.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;

Off the <em>Getreidegasse<\/em> and the <em>Domplatz<\/em>, you can explore the thriving art scene, jazz music clubs and famous breweries such as the <em>Stiegl<\/em> brewery or the <em>Augustiner Braust\u00fcbl<\/em>. The concert venues provide excellent live music 365 days a year, and the <em>Sch\u00f6nbrunn castle<\/em> 20 minutes from the city centre is certainly as beautiful as the name (which means \u201cbeautiful spring\u201d) indicates. Additionally, the city has lots of unusual activities to choose from. Aside from cultural and culinary experiences, fans of the great outdoors have plenty of options: swimming, paragliding, climbing, visiting the salt mines, skiing or touring the locations of <em>The Sound of Music<\/em>. Being bored in Salzburg simply isn\u2019t possible.<\/p>\n<p>By the way: the lack of success of <em>The Sound of Music<\/em> in German speaking countries is partially attributed to the fact that the film depicts the repressed Nazi history quite vividly, and towards the end of the movie the von Trapp family is forced to flee. Today, however, The Sound of Music is shown non-stop in several Salzburg hotels. But even without any reference to the film, Salzburg is a sure hit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even the harshest critics of the sentimental story cannot deny the visual beauty of the city.
