About this tour
This session covers the Mozart family's second Salzburg home, on Makartplatz across the river from the birthplace most visitors already know. You see the larger facade from the square and then the square itself, noticeably quieter than the crowded street around the first house. It is a companion session to the birthplace, focused on how the family's circumstances changed.
I stay across the square for most of the session, explaining why the family moved and how this house differs from the first. Questions come in comparing the two properties, and I answer them as we go. A short note on the current museum inside follows for anyone planning a visit.
This suits anyone who has already covered the birthplace and wants the fuller story. It also works well as a quieter alternative to the busier first house.
