Mozart Memorials and Salzburg Tourist Information

Mozart's Birthplace
The composer's birthplace, a.k.a. Mozarts Geburtshaus, now houses a museum that displays his violins, piano, and other memorabilia. An apartment is furnished to show how people of Mozart's class lived in the mid- to late 1700s.

Mozart's Residence
The Mozart family lived here in Mozarts Wohnhaus from 1773 to 1780. Much of the house was destroyed by a bomb in World War II, but it was reconstructed by the International Mozarteum Foundation. (Note: You can save money with a combined ticket for the the Wohnhaus and Geburtshaus, and both attractions are free to holders of the Salzburg Card.)

Internationale Stifttung Mozarteum
The Mozarteum's concerts take place in the foundation's own halls and at other venues around the city. You can also visit the foundation by appointment. The Web site is in German, but you can translate with AltaVista.

University Mozarteum
In addition to courses during the academic year (some of which are open to foreign students), the university has an International Summer Academy that has offered master classes to outstanding young musicians since 1916.

Mirabell Mozartkugeln
Echte Salzburger Mozartkugeln, or "Genuine Salzburg Mozart Balls," are a popular souvenir for the tourist with a sweet tooth. At its Web site, Mirabell has information and quizzes about the candy and the composer--along with the revelation that it's now owned by Kraft Foods Österreich.
