Mozart's Birthplace & Residence in Salzburg

Experience Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

On the tracks of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the city of Salzburg

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg in 1756. The house where he was born in Salzburg's Getreidegasse and the house where he later lived on Makartplatz are important places in the city of Mozart today that commemorate the life and work of this musical genius.

But Mozart's influence on Salzburg goes far beyond these two places. The airport and University of Music and Art are named after him, in the souvenir shops, all kinds of knick-knacks smile with the face of the city’s famous son next to the famous Mozartkugeln.

our tip

When it comes to the Mozartkugeln, people say: that only those in silver paper from Konditorei Fürst are the real, original Mozartkugeln that have been made individually by hand to this day.

Mozart's birthplace in Salzburg

A visit to the world-famous Getreidegasse in Salzburg leads directly to Mozart's birthplace, the highlight of any visit to Salzburg. In the historic Hagenauer Haus, Getreidegasse 9, visitors can experience the original living quarters of the Mozart family. The Mozart Museum presents unique memorabilia from Mozart's life, including his childhood violin and the clavichord on which he composed. Mozart's birthplace in Salzburg offers a fascinating insight into the early years of the musical genius.

Mozart's residence in Salzburg

Nearby, in the Tanzmeisterhaus on Makartplatz, is Mozart's residence. This is where the Mozart family lived from 1773 to 1787 and where visitors can see impressive exhibits, such as Mozart's fortepiano and personal artefacts, which bring the history of the composer and his family to life. Both places in the city of Mozart bring Mozart's life in Salzburg to life.
