Traveler reviews
Haytham Abbas
★★★★★4 months agoAs a one of the best musicians in the history, Mozarts house should be visited to know the history behind this iconic character. I visited the house and enjoyed moving from room to other looking for the instruments, images furniture, which belongs to Mozart’s family. The music background adds a beautiful touch to the place as well. Absolutely, recommended a place for visitors to Salzburg city.
