See Where Mozart Was Born

Even if you’re not particularly into classical music, seeing where Mozart was born is still one of the top things to do in Salzburg. With 400,000 visitors each year, this museum is one of the most popular in the city and covers almost all periods of his life. The displays feature stories and details from his childhood all the way up to genuine musical instruments he used to practice and compose his world-famous symphonies. You’ll also have the chance to explore rooms originally occupied by the Mozart family and admire one of the composer’s first violins and original scores of his compositions.

Through portraits, costumes, models, set designs, and excerpts from operas, you’ll be able to learn all about his life, operatic works, and the lives of his family. There’s even a room that has been decorated and furnished to look exactly as it was when Mozart lived there.
