Itinerary
Enjoy the narrow, crooked streets of Salzburg's Burgher Town. Here you'll find the passageways of the Getreidegasse shopping district, the Salzburg commercial center which has retained its medieval and Baroque charm from the days when Archbishops ruled.
St Peter's Abbey is a Benedictine monastery and former cathedral in the Austrian city of Salzburg. It is considered one of the oldest monasteries in the German-speaking world since its foundation in 696.
Mozart's birthplace was the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at No. 9 Getreidegasse in Salzburg, Austria. The Mozart family resided on the third floor from 1747 to 1773.
We will visit Mozart’s Residence, where he lived until the age of 17, and explore the museum exhibit showcasing his musical genius and dramatic life with the help of your expert guide.
Take in the grand Italian-influenced Baroque squares of the Residenz District where the Archbishops once presided and the extravagant Baroque Mirabell Palace and Gardens, with mythological statues and ornate flower arrangements.

About Salzburg
Salzburg, birthplace of Mozart, is a baroque city on the Salzach River beneath a hilltop fortress, with the Alps at its edge.
The old town, on the left bank of the Salzach, is a UNESCO World Heritage site of baroque church domes, narrow lanes and arcaded courtyards, built on the salt trade and presided over by the Hohensalzburg Fortress. Mozart was born in 1756 in a yellow house on Getreidegasse, now a museum, while Residenzplatz and Domplatz hold the cathedral and the palaces of the prince-archbishops.
Top-ranked sights in Salzburg: Mirabell Palace and Gardens (Schloss Mirabell und Mirabellgarten), Hellbrunn Palace (Schloss Hellbrunn), Nonnberg Abbey (Stift Nonnberg).
