Mozart’s birthplace at Getreidegasse 9 in Salzburg’s old town is where the composer was born on 27 January 1756 and lived until age seventeen. The museum, run by the Mozarteum Foundation, displays the violin he played at age six for Empress Maria Theresa, original instruments, letters, and documents. It is Salzburg’s most visited museum; expect crowds in summer and book online to save time. Allow 1 to 1.5 hours; combination tickets with the Mozart Residence on Makartplatz (his later family home) cover both sites and reduce the per-site cost.
