Viennese things — Vienna PASS
A Look Inside Mozarthaus in Vienna
Although Mozart lived at many addresses during his time in Vienna, only one of the places he called home is still around today — Mozarthaus. Located in the historic quarter at Domgasse number 5, the famous composer spent some of the happiest years of his life at this address between 1784 and 1787. As well as containing the real apartment in which Mozart lived, today Mozarthaus is also home to a spectacular museum which showcases many highlights from the composers public and private life.
