The historic old town is the heart, the historic lanes and squares want to be discovered. Flanked by the city mountains, which put the old town in an incomparable setting, and under the watchful eyes of the fortress Hohensalzburg urban life hardly stands still.

Mozart’s birthplace is about 10 minutes walk away. The museum, open all year round, where you can admire paintings, six preserved original instruments, music sketches and the world’s largest photographic archive, takes not only Mozart fans back to the 18th century. If you still want to see more of/about Mozart, you can also visit his former residence, which is just 5 minutes away. The music manuscripts, original letters and the collection of thousands of films and audio tracks make the second Mozart Museum unique.
