DomQuartier

The DomQuartier is a museum masterpiece in the heart of the city of Salzburg: this unique museum highlight combines the state rooms and residential gallery of the Alte Residenz in Salzburg, the Cathedral Museum and St Peter's Museum in a single tour.

The various rooms present magnificent exhibitions on the Baroque history of Salzburg and the time of the prince-archbishops over an area of 15,000 square metres. Visitors can also enjoy unique views of Salzburg's old town from the museum rooms as well as from the cathedral arches.

Mozart Museum

In Mozart's birthplace in Getreidegasse and the house on Makartplatz, you can admire original exhibits from the life and everyday life of the Mozart family, such as the child prodigy's original instruments.
