Flights to Salzburg for just £9.99, these are a few of my favourite things...
28 November 2006
Every fancied walking in the footsteps of Julie Andrews and running through the hills of Austria dressed as a nun? Well Jet2.com can help you out (may be not with the nun outfit!) but with cheap flights to Salzburg from Leeds you can discover the locations where the world famous musical was shot.
Visit The Benedictine Convent on Nonnberg where the nuns sing 'Maria', the beautiful Mirabell Gardens and Mirabell Palace where Maria and the children sing 'Do-Re-Mi' and the Felsenreitschule where the Trapp Family performed their farewell song and Baron von Trapp sang Edelweiss, to name but a few.
There are a variety of tours on offer in the city, which will take you around the locations and through the breathtaking hills where the opening scenes were filmed. With English speaking guides and the movie soundtrack accompanying you on your tour you can fully immerse yourself in the world of Maria and the Trapp family.
All together now...
“The hills are alive with the sound of music
The songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music”
