You must visit this place with no great expectations then you will enjoy it. The house is not very large and the things on display was sparse. Nevertheless it is worth a visit if you are in salzburg and a Mozart fan.You can pick Mozart chocolates too from the souvenier shop.

The house itself is not so important although it is a large and nice family home. It is fairly empty with only select furnishings left for display 9rather than a display of the functioning home). Probably a great museum for die-hard Mozart fans but our feeling was that it did not capture enough about biography about his life and capture... More

One of the most exciting tourist attraction in the middle of the picturesque city of music festivals. I missed the Mozart festival held in July, but still this Mecca of music is a holy place to visit, plus the neighboring Bavarian Alps with Berchtesgaden and Hitler's Eagle Nest in the range of 15 min drive by car .

I liked the comprehensive video on Mozart's childhood and growing years, how he endured the long travels to perform and tragically took life of his Mum. You must visit the souvenir shop too!

A nice visit to Mozart's residence. There you can see his personal belongings and some of his hand-written sonnets.

Walking through his apartment you can hear the music reverberate through the walls. It is a bit cramped but perhaps he wasn't that tall. How did they get around the narrow passageways with those voluminous skirts? Anyway, it was very interesting to see how he lived. Small ,men with big brains live like anyone and one day... others will walk... More

In three days in Germany and Austria, this was the one place where we felt ripped off. For 7 euros, the only substantial artifact is one of Mozart’s pianos. The remaining four rooms showed minor artifacts (scores, letters) and many were from other people to or about Mozart. A 30-minute film was advertised as being in German and English, but... More

We rushed over here at the end of the day and afterward we wished we had skipped it. The home is not furnished as it would have been when Mozart lived there. Each room contained random Mozart artifacts (e.g., the last letter his father wrote before he died, some books that had been in the family library, etc.) The movie... More

The house were Mozart lived: there is no need to purchase a ticket to visit though there is a 'ticket-counter' when one enters. This is to get the guided tour 'phone', though information is given in German and English next to the exhibits. and thus the phone guided tour option is not really necessary, though viewers can hear music related...

Uninteressant visit, very short, almost nothing to see! I was very surprised to see that there are only two or three piano owned by Mozart, the rest is only facsimile... And too expensive for what it is!!! If you really want to learn something about this amazing musician, just check on the web... would be better than that...
