A visit to Salzburg, Mozart's hometown
When you come to Salzburg, it becomes clear to you where the inspiration for Mozart's beautiful musical pieces came from. But I heard that's not the case and that Mozart never said or wrote that the beauty of his hometown inspired him. Although my impression was that in such a beautiful city you have to become inspired to make great works of art.
The spirit of old times and Mozart's work can be felt at every step, because the city is very well preserved, in the Baroque style. Squares, narrow streets, palaces, parks, castles, everything will take you back to history. My visit was incidental and time-limited, I saw very little but I left a lot to visit next time.
I managed to see where Mozart was born. That interested me the most. I like to visit the houses of famous historical figures. He was born on the third floor of a building that was a few hundred years old at the time.
He later lived in another house where he spent some time as a young adult.
Traveling through Mozart's life is an amazing experience to which more time should be devoted and I hope to be able to do so another time when I come.
I came across an interesting place where you can become a part of history with unique photography from the past.
You will be amazed to see yourself in some old costume and you will feel like you belong to another time.
Some parts of the city reminded me of my city.
But I have never seen such a colorful pedestrian crossing before. 🙂
Not even a traffic light like this. 🙂
The Salzach River is very beautiful and in the evening makes you feel romantic while listening to Mozart's music and walking.
As it was once said, Mozart is not chocolate 🙂, Mozart is a composer of beautiful music that lives through time, worth listening to.
Thank you very much for reading.

What I love about the city from the pictures you shared, is the blend between modern and ancient architecture. It makes the city so unique.
Albert Einstein once said Mozart songs inspired him.
