Salzburg

Salzburg is not called the city of Mozart for nothing. The city and probably the most famous composer of all time are inextricably linked.

He was born in the heart of the baroque old town in 1756 and spent much of his childhood here, giving his first Salzburg court concert at the age of seven in the state rooms of the Residenz. From here, his musical genius spread out into the world. Quite a few guests come to the tranquil city on the Salzach just because of him.

His birthplace in Getreidegasse and his home on Makartplatz in particular are now museums that commemorate his extraordinary childhood and are a place of pilgrimage for music lovers from all over the world. When it comes to Mozart, almost the entire old town of Salzburg is like a walk-in museum.

Mozart is more than history in Salzburg - he is alive. The city literally breathes his melodies. Whether in the magnificent halls of the Salzburg Festival, in small street cafés where his works can be heard quietly in the background, or in the famous Mozartkugeln, the sweet homage to the musical genius. Salzburg carries the spirit of Mozart in every note, in every stone, in every sound.

Anyone who visits Salzburg travels to the world of the child prodigy - a city that not only produced Mozart, but has preserved his music forever. Here, Mozart is not just a memory, but pure inspiration.
