Another opportunity for cross-blog posting!
Something I like to do when visiting other cities is check out locations where famous films were shot. Some cities are obviously easier than others, ie. I think almost every inch of New York City has been in a movie at some point of another :P
For me Vienna is the home of many a famous classical musician, filled with baroque buildings and other old world gems, but it is also where one of my favourite directors Richard Linklater shot his beloved film: Before Sunrise. Ethan Hawke and July Delphy play Jesse and Celine, two young people who meet by chance on a train and decide to spend a day together wandering through Vienna.
So naturally I'm interested to know where they strolled, which cafe they stopped in, which park they slept in, etc. A quick google search brought me to this page, a concise list of which scenes were shot where, and all linked to google maps!
The main site is called Filmaps at http://www.filmaps.com/ It allows you to search by city or by movie. Just a little added dimension to your travels.
I'm sure no one will be surprised to learn I'm gonna be all over the Sound of Music locations in Salzburg!
