Mozart Birthplace and Residence

We decided during our trip to Germany to take a quick side trip across the border to Salzburg, Austria.  This charming city is very nice to walk around for a few hours, but the two main tourist draws are the Mozart Birthplace and the Mozart Residence, which are only a few minutes walk from each other.  You can also get a combination ticket to visit both of them at their ticket counters.

You'll find that the birthplace focuses on the life of Mozart, while the Residence focuses more his music.  Both are very interesting and come with audio guides in multiple languages.  We found that the one at the Residence was particularly different than the ones you get at most museums since it plays various Mozart music.
