Stunning, you can’t go in to the pavilion because of health and safety but it’s just wonderful, you can’t then easily walk back along the path 20mins to the building used as the front of the building for the shots

What an awesome tour & very beautiful filming locations! The weather was cool out, but still made for a glorious day & neat experience! A must if you’re in the Salzburg area! 🇦🇹

Fantastic to see it. Red Bull sponsor it however, its a shame they didn't place something a bit more imaginative to the film rather then a football player. I understand there is some big game on but it would be better to keep this to the film, after all, thats why everybody comes to see it.
