'The Sound of Music' come to life
Every holiday season, countless families watch "The Sound of Music" on TV and a variety of tour operators allow visitors to Austria to experience the movie's most memorable scenes in real life. The Sound of Music tour, operated by Panorama Tours, took passengers to the Salzburgerland's Lake District. These picturesque landscapes were featured in the opening of "The Sound of Music."
