Visit a city because of a song | Mozart's hometown, Salzburg, and listen to the "Sound of Music"

The Oscar-winning film "The Sound of Music" and its theme song "Do Re Mi" are well-known to many. The song became popular worldwide with the release of the film, and its melody is beautiful and smooth. "The Sound of Music" is also one of the most popular musical films in the history of cinema, and is considered a classic among Hollywood musicals. The cheerful melody, picturesque scenery, and the story's setting and filming location all come from this beautiful Austrian city, Salzburg. Another reason for its fame is, of course, the genius musician who was born here, Mozart. 1. Mozart's Birthplace and Mozart Square A yellow building in the center of Salzburg. It was Mozart's childhood and youth residence. There are English explanations, and inside the house are Mozart's piano and manuscripts. Nearby is Mozart Square, where we happened to catch a street performance, a fundraising event in the form of an open piano. The piano in the center of the square is open for anyone to play. 2. Hohensalzburg Fortress Located on a hill in the old town, it is one of Salzburg's landmarks. The castle has a long history, dating back to 1077, and is one of the largest medieval castles in Europe. Climb to the top of the castle for a panoramic view of the old town of Salzburg. Tips: Take the cable car to the fortress platform. It is recommended to book in advance and wear comfortable shoes, as the castle is quite large and requires walking to visit. 3. Salzburg Cathedral Located at the foot of the fortress, it is one of the largest cathedrals in Salzburg. The cathedral has undergone several expansions and renovations, and its organ is said to be the best in Europe. Tips: Concerts are held irregularly, and tickets need to be booked in advance. There is a dress code, and formal attire is required. 4. Mirabell Palace and Gardens The garden is beautifully designed and full of Baroque style. With fountains, statues, and flower beds, it is also one of the filming locations for "The Sound of Music." Come and experience the classic Do-Re-Mi scene for yourself! Tips: The old town of Salzburg is perfect for walking. There are music performances in the small squares all year round, which are worth stopping to listen to. The cafes along the streets and rivers are perfect for a day of relaxation. There are also many Mozart souvenirs, and the white and blue packaged Mozart chocolates are delicious!
