Mozartplatz in Salzburg’s old town is the square anchored by the 1842 Mozart statue by Ludwig Schwanthaler, adjacent to the Neue Residenz and the Glockenspiel to the north and two minutes from the Cathedral. The Tourist Information office is here, making it a practical orientation point. The square connects directly to Residenzplatz; the Glockenspiel on the Neue Residenz performs several times daily. Free and always accessible.

Mozartplatz
The Mozart statue on Mozartplatz was unveiled in 1842, sixteen years after Beethoven's death, by a committee that included Franz Schubert among its supporters, a detail that says something about how quickly Mozart's reputation had been institutionalized into civic bronze.
