If you are really interested in getting a view of the charming old houses, try to visit early, preferably before 10 in the morning - pretty portals and wonderful courtyards can only be seen and appreciated then. The Getreidegasse is famous for its wrought-iron signs, by Edwin Lee dating from the 16th to the 19th centuries - the design of the signs dates back to the Middle Ages! It is worth taking a second look at the houses because they are adorned with dates, symbols or the names of their owners, so they often tell their own history. +43 662 8 8987 [email protected] Getreidegasse, Salzburg Residenzplatz "Central Square" Set in the center of Altstadt, Residenzplatz is a must visit when visiting the city.

The Mozart statue that gave the square its name was erected in 1842. During the excavations for the monument, the workers found old Roman mosaics. Engraved on these was an ancient Roman text: Hic habitas felicitas, nihil intret mali: "Here lives fortune, no evil shall ever pass this place." The building that Mozart turns his back on is the home that the cathedral architect Santino Solari built for himself.
