I you are interested in Mozart history, in Salzburg (Asutria) you can visit the place where he was born and the house where he lived, Mozartswhonhaus.

Mozartswhonhaus

You can buy a double ticket for 18 EUR or visit only one of the attractions for 10 EUR. I chose to visit only the house where he was born, Mozartsgeburtshaus, because is a big building.

Located in a busy avenue of the city where all posh shops are, this house is always full of tourists. You have a free wi-fi hotspot inside the museum.

Heading to the second floor we can see a living room with the piano Mozart played when young and another that he played when he became older.
