Cemetery

Friedhof St. Peter (Petersfriedhof)

Sankt-Peter-Bezirk 1, 5020 Salzburg

Salzburg's oldest cemetery, arcaded in wrought iron and Baroque family vaults sheltered beneath a cliff.

This guide to the Petersfriedhof in Salzburg starts with the von Trapp family's hide-and-seek scene from The Sound of Music, filmed among tombs meant to look exactly like these, and follows why a working graveyard could never actually host a Hollywood crew. It turns from there to the real cemetery, settled by monks around the year 700, with arcaded family vaults and wrought-iron grilles that descendants still tend today. Walk the arcades slowly and look for how old the surviving tombstones really are.
