Visit Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart and setting for The Sound of Music. Explore Hohensalzburg Fortress (one of Europe's largest medieval castles with panoramic views), tour Mozart's Birthplace (museum in his childhood home with original instruments), stroll through Mirabell Palace and Gardens (baroque gardens featured in the film), and see the Salzburg Cathedral (17th-century baroque church with impressive dome and crypt).
Indulge in Salzburger Nockerl, a fluffy soufflé-like dessert that is a specialty of Salzburg, Austria. This sweet treat, named after the city's hills (the Nockerl), is made from egg whites, sugar, and vanilla, baked to a golden peak and dusted with powdered sugar. Traditionally served in portions shaped like three hills, it's best enjoyed at a traditional Austrian restaurant like St. Peter Stiftskulinarium, one of the oldest restaurants in Central Europe, or at Café Tomaselli, a historic coffeehouse where Mozart once sipped his coffee. Pair it with a glass of Austrian wine or a cup of melange for a truly local experience.
A governess, seven children and the Salzburg hills; still the musical everyone can sing.
