Overview

The Nuns & Nazis Tour is about the Second World War in Salzburg. Salzburg is unique because we are famous for a feel-good movie set in one of the darkest times in Europe. On this tour, we will not go into general history, because that is what the Free Walking Tour is for, but we will dive deep into World War II, as well as the history of the Trapp family and the story of the movie that was made about them. Traces of the Nazi era can still be found in Salzburg today, and in fact, your guide Leo’s family history is influenced by World War II. That is why he offers this tour.

Itinerary

Schloss Mirabell & Mirabellgarten

After the introduction, we will cross the Mirabell Gardens, already considered one of the most famous filming locations of the movie Sound of Music.

15 minutes
Makartplatz

Makartplatz was renamed several times before, during, and after the second world war. The square is characterized by a variety of buildings that were affected by the history of the war.

10 minutes
Linzergasse

Linzergasse was a neighborhood where the common people lived. Here Leo for the first time introduces you to the "Stolpersteine", which were laid for the victims of the Nazi regime.

10 minutes
Steingasse

In Steingasse Leo tells an urban legend about a special trace of the Second World War in Salzburg. You have to decide for yourself whether you believe his story or not.

10 minutes
Staatsbrucke

Staatsbrücke is the main bridge in the old town. Hundreds of prisoners of war and forced laborers worked against their will on the construction of this bridge during the second world war.

10 minutes
Alter Markt

At the Old Markt square, Leo tells more stories about common people, about a Jewish family, and how they escaped or didn't escape Salzburg before the Nazis took over.

10 minutes
Grosses Festspielhaus

The Salzburg Festspielhaus was shown at the end of Sound of Music during the concert before the Trapp family fled Salzburg, but did you know that the family actually performed there?

15 minutes
Residenzplatz

The Residenzplatz is the main square of the old town. Here you can learn all about the Anschluss, the Nazi takeover of Austria, more about the Trapp family and the history of film, but also about the only book burning that took place in Salzburg during World War II.

20 minutes
Stift Nonnberg

From Residenzplatz, the main square of the old town, the path leads to a lesser-known, but no less important sight. Nonnberg Abbey was not only the abbey of the sound of music but is also the oldest women's monastery in the world. Here, with a great view of the alps, you will get your last dose of Sound of Music facts and stories.
