18. Salzburg, Austria, The Hills of The Sound of Music

I am now in Salzburg, Austria. Austria becomes the sixth European country I get to visit, and the first new European country for me in ten years. I am at a vantage point familiar from The Sound of Music motion picture from 1965. The song "Do, Re, Mi" ends. Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons @InSapphoWeTrust

Few locations sing themselves into memory like Salzburg. From the Mirabell Gardens to the rolling hills outside the city, this Austrian town is forever tied to Julie Andrews’ joyful twirl in “The Sound of Music.” Fans can follow Maria’s footsteps in curated walking tours, or simply bask in the baroque beauty that defines this UNESCO World Heritage site. What makes Salzburg feel cinematic isn’t just nostalgia—it’s the harmony of place, music, and movement. You don’t watch the movie in Salzburg. You live inside it.
