Salzburg City Tour - On the Traces of Mozart

Salzburg, Austria

Over the centuries the Prince Archbishops of Salzburg represented the worldly and clerical power in their own independent principality. Many impressive monuments still stand witness to their reign. Renowned architects and artists worked throughout the centuries to create architectural jewels. Since the 18th Century, the melody of Mozart's ‘Magic Flute' and other famous compositions resound between the historic walls of Salzburg. Gain an insight into the Gothic, Renaissance and baroque aspects of the city as Mozart saw it on this informative sightseeing tour of Salzburg.

After your coach tour, you will visit the newly reopened Residence of Mozart on Makart Square, dating back to 1617. Mozart lived in this house from 1773 to 1780. Today, this famous residence houses a museum on the first floor of Mozart's former living quarters, documenting the history of the building and the life of the Mozart family. Your  tour will conclude at Mozart's Residence, allowing you time to enjoy the attraction at leisure, and there will be an opportunity for you to see an informative multi-media show.

Just waste time and money on this trip.

in my opinion, there was no more new things to see as we took this excursion on the last day, when we were already familiar with the city. this tour is ideal on the first day.

This was a great overview of Salzburg and would like to go back for more. We only had a few hours in Salzburg and am glad we picked this tour.

Very knowledgable guide.

I enjoyed the Traces of Mozart tour! Would recommend this to all who visit Salzburg!

Review by: Samuel S, United States of America	January 2010
It would be better if it was a walking tour. The name is a bit misleading, since there is not much mention of Mozart in the city until the last stop at the museum house.

Review by: Anantha P, Germany	July 2009
Most of this overlaps with the 'sound of music tour'. This fact is not made clear in your write-ups. Perhaps, adding a Mozart music concert as part of this tour might make it more worthwhile. Additionally, you could perhaps give a choice between visiting the Mozart Museum or getting one or two CDs of Mozart music. I personally would have preferred CDs.

Salzburg is a beautiful city but they only let you see things from inside the van, it is OK just to get to know the basics of the city then start walking on your own.

More like a city tour with a slight difference. We had a guide whose English was OK and had to concentrate hard. We struck this in a thunderstorm, so that put a dampener on it!

Would have loved to really go on his traces, it was more of a city tour and not enough information about the actual traces of Mozart. The guide was wonderful.

The Mozart tour was a bit light, but at least we received tickets to see the museum.

Review by: Sarah S, United States of America	August 2007
This tour didn't show me anything that I hadn't seen on the Sound of Music tour or walking around on my own. We didn't get to enter Mozart's Residence or the Wax Museum. We were never given tickets.

Salzburg is a great city, and this was the best way to see the most in the little time that I had there.

Tour was advertised as 2 and a half hours. It was slightly over 1 hour with a ticket to Mozart Residence, which closed at 6pm. Tour started at 4pm.

Since this was my family's first time in Salzburg, we decided to get an overview of the city and this tour was very helpful in providing us with lots of information for our short stay.
