Highlight on your trip to Salzburg: Mozart's birthplace

One thing that no visit to Salzburg should be without: a visit to Mozart's birthplace! The world-famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart saw the light of day in the middle of the old town in the famous Getreidegasse Salzburg and grew up in the city. After a short walk from Salzburg's old town along the Salzach, you have already arrived at the famous house and can learn more about Mozart and his life's work.

He moved within the city during his youth, but Mozart's home is only a five-minute walk from the birthplace and can also be visited.
As Mozart's Birthplace is one of the most visited museums in the city, it's worth booking tickets in advance. One option for this is the Salzburg Card, which gives you access to all of the city's attractions at a reduced price.

The best Salzburg sights

A little tip: on Mondays and Thursdays you can watch the animals being fed live on site!

Salzburg vacation - but do it right!

Incidentally, the Mozart family had their music room here. A large fountain in the garden and a beautiful marble hall inside the castle will make your visit to the castle unforgettable.

Probably the best view of the entire city is from the Hohensalzburg Fortress, which is enthroned on a hill above the city. The best way to get to the fortress is with the fortress railway, but it is also possible to climb up on foot. The fortress includes a must-see golden ballroom. And in winter, a magical Christmas market takes place in the fortress, bathing the Salzburg sight in sparkling lights.
