We bought a Salzburg card for 24 hours for 26 euros - you can get them for 48 and 72 hours too. The card covered the entrance fee to this house which normally costs 10 euros (we used the card for several other attractions so we definitely got our money's worth). The house is tastefully laid out with lots of... More

My husband and I enjoyed our visit to Mozart's birthplace. The stories are in German and English...easy to read and interesting. The exhibits are varied (paintings, letters, manuscripts etc) and the flow is very good. The experience could be improved with some modern, interactive features including more audio (opportunities to hear some of his music - without sitting at a... More

Salzburg is a great little town, but not the best for sightseeing (unless you're really into the Sound of Music, which I am not, and I hear the tour is a bit of a letdown). Mozart Geburtshaus is a surprisingly extensive museum with a thorough account of the life of the musical genius from childhood on through his mysterious end.... More

This was a fantastic step back into history!! I loved being in the location where Mozart born! Although it was small, and if you don't read everything (which, if you're not much of music nut, is very easy to do) you could get through it quite quickly. If you ARE a music nut like me, you HAVE to do this!!... More

I'm not a Mozart-fan and I don't know much about him, only what I've learnt in school. It is a small exhibition with only a few rooms, but it has a lovely, special atmosphere and you can learn a lot about the Mozart family, about the kind of people they were. So, basically this is the place to fall in... More

So it's Austria and it's Mozart. This is one of those places you can walk by and say, yep I've seen it, but you really need to do it. I mean it is Salzburg after all.

Even if it weren't the birthplace of the famous composer, this would be a very interesting historic home to visit. The home, in the heart of old Salzburg, was constructed several hundred years before the birth of the famous composer. So, you have the advantage of touring a number of very old rooms while learning the history of the Mozart... More

As someone else mentioned, it's a bit of a maze to see all the rooms you are supposed to see. But, the stories about Mozart and his family are great. And the room where you can step in, see the model of the stage of the opera and then watch a scene from that opera is really cool. I liked... More

I'm not Mozart superfan, but who doesn't know this man and want to see a glimpse of his life. What a really loved about this museum was the personal items and letters between him and his wife. I felt the museum was lined with their very romantic story. As someone who didn't know much of his life story, I felt... More

This is a nice little museum and the best of the "Mozart lived here" collection. Make sure to catch all the little nooks and crannies to find the whole exhibit. The shop was really dissapointing unless I really wanted to buy an overpriced cd.
