Mozart's birthplace

Mozart's birthplace is an 18th-century bourgeois residence on Getreidegasse featuring multiple floors with rooms that reflect the period of his childhood. The space contains personal items, documents, and furnishings that show how a prosperous Salzburg family lived during that era.

The building was constructed in the 17th century and later became the residence of Mozart's family, who departed in 1773. It was subsequently transformed into a museum to preserve the memory of the composer.

The residence served as a home for multiple families over generations before becoming a place of remembrance focused on Mozart's formative years.

The location is accessible on foot through the Old Town, situated among shops and restaurants in a central area. The narrow staircases and limited floor space may present challenges for visitors with mobility difficulties.

The house displays instruments and objects from Mozart's era, including a piano he may have used. These items offer direct insight into his musical training and family life.
