Mozarthaus is the last surviving home of the musical genius in Vienna, where he lived from 1784 to 1787 during the most creative years of his life. Walk through the very rooms where he composed, practiced, and entertained some of Vienna’s most influential musicians and patrons.

Rooms that tell personal stories

Each floor reveals a different side of Mozart’s life, from his family apartment and correspondence to displays about his patrons and friendships. You can see how he balanced fame, financial struggles, and a relentless drive to create music that still defines Vienna today.

Original artifacts and rare exhibits

The apartment museum houses an impressive collection of authentic manuscripts, family portraits, early publications, and handwritten letters. These well-preserved originals trace his personal connections, daily routines, and collaborations with fellow composers, offering a clear window into his working life amid Vienna’s thriving classical scene.

Live performances in an intimate setting

Some ticket options include access to chamber concerts held in the Bösendorfer Saal, a refined hall within Mozarthaus, renowned for its warm acoustics and historic charm. Hear how his compositions once sounded in the 18th century, recreated by soloists and chamber musicians on period-style instruments.

Immersive visual experiences

Interactive installations and multimedia projections bring Mozart’s compositions to life throughout the museum. You can listen to excerpts, follow his musical evolution, and understand how Vienna’s social life and soundscapes influenced his work.

A central stop between Vienna’s icons

Located just **steps from St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Mozarthaus fits effortlessly into any day of sightseeing. Its position in the Old Town makes it an easy and meaningful pause amid Vienna’s grand landmarks and quiet courtyards.

Things to know before booking Mozarthaus Vienna tickets

  • Book your Mozarthaus Vienna tickets at least 1 to 2 weeks in advance, especially if you plan to attend a concert. Evening performances in the Bösendorfer Saal and weekend slots often sell out quickly, so early booking ensures your preferred date and seating category.
  • Mozarthaus Vienna sits on Domgasse 5, tucked behind St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna’s Old Town. The narrow side street can be easy to miss, so look for the small ‘Mozarthaus Vienna’ sign beside the Figarohof courtyard archway to find the entrance.
  • Entry is through a ticket validation line near the front foyer. Pre-booked e-tickets are scanned directly from your phone, saving time at the counter and getting you inside faster.
  • With the standard audio tour, you can explore all three floors of Mozart’s residence at your own pace and listen to stories about his daily life and creative process. The adult version, available in 13 languages, offers deeper insight into his years in Vienna, while the children’s guide, in 8 languages, turns his story and music into an engaging narrative for younger listeners.
  • If you want to take your visit up a notch, concert-inclusive tickets feature live chamber performances inside the Bösendorfer Saal, an intimate 18th-century hall celebrated for its warm acoustics and small-scale performances by professional soloists and ensembles.
  • For those with a full day in Vienna, combo tickets let you explore the Mozarthaus alongside nearby attractions such as the Haus der Musik or the Mythos Mozart immersive exhibition. These options save time and money while giving you a deeper look at Vienna’s musical legacy.
  • The museum is largely wheelchair accessible, with a step-free entrance and elevator access to all exhibition levels. A few rooms on the upper floors may be harder to navigate due to the preserved 18th-century design, so bring a companion or notify the staff in advance for assistance.

What to expect from your visit to Mozart’s apartment museum

A visit to Mozarthaus Vienna unfolds across three floors, each designed to reveal a different facet of the composer’s life and work. On the second floor, you’ll find Mozart’s original apartment, his only surviving residence in Vienna. The restored rooms showcase personal objects, instruments, and manuscript reproductions that show how he worked, composed, and entertained.

The third floor expands the story with exhibitions on his collaborations, the people who shaped his music, and the cultural life of Vienna during his most creative years. As you move up to the top floor, the focus shifts to multimedia installations, soundscapes, and visual projections that interpret his compositions through a modern lens.

If you’ve chosen a concert-inclusive ticket, your visit culminates inside the Bösendorfer Saal, an intimate chamber hall within the same building. Listen to Mozart’s compositions performed live by professional soloists and chamber musicians, recreating the tone and intimacy of an 18th-century salon performance.

Mozarthaus Vienna is open year-round, but the experience varies depending on when you go. For a quieter, more immersive visit, plan your trip during weekday mornings, especially Tuesday to Thursday. These hours see fewer tour groups, giving you more space to explore Mozart’s apartment and exhibitions at your own pace.

Afternoons tend to be busier, particularly on weekends and Mondays, when school groups and tours often visit. If you want to take photos or enjoy the ambient music without crowds, aim to arrive shortly after opening.

Concert-inclusive tickets are best enjoyed during the spring and summer months (April to September), when the city’s music calendar is at its peak and evening performances feel especially atmospheric.

If you prefer cooler weather and shorter queues, November through March offers a calmer experience, with reduced crowds and more availability for combo and concert tickets.

  • Concert seating inside Mozarthaus is category-based, not assigned by seat. Arrive 20 to 30 minutes early for better spots and to enjoy the calm atmosphere before the music begins.
  • Photography is allowed without flash, though a few exhibits restrict it for preservation. Check the signs in each room before taking pictures.
  • Mozarthaus doesn’t have an on-site café or restaurant, but you’ll find several cafés and bistros within about 100 meters on Singerstrasse and Blutgasse, perfect for a quick meal before or after your visit.

Mozart’s lasting influence on Vienna’s music scene

Vienna’s reputation as the ‘City of Music’ owes much to Mozart’s time here. His works defined the city’s classical identity, shaping both its performance culture and musical institutions that still thrive today. The concert halls, opera houses, and salons of Vienna continue to echo with his symphonies, concertos, and operas, performed as part of everyday life rather than preserved relics.

Mozart’s innovations in harmony, form, and emotional depth inspired generations of composers, from Beethoven and Schubert to modern interpreters who still study and perform his works in Vienna’s conservatories and orchestras. Festivals such as the Vienna Mozart Week and performances at venues like the Musikverein and Staatsoper keep his spirit central to the city’s cultural rhythm.

Frequently asked questions about concerts in Mozart’s house

Do Mozarthaus Vienna tickets include skip-the-line access?

While there isn’t a separate fast-track entry, pre-booked e-tickets let you skip the on-site ticket counter and head straight to the validation line at the foyer, saving valuable time during busy hours.

Can I attend a concert at Mozart’s house without visiting the museum?

Yes, concert-only tickets are available for performances in the Bösendorfer Saal. However, we recommend choosing the museum and concert combo tickets for the ultimate experience.

Which seats offer the best view and acoustics for concerts at Mozarthaus?

The Category A seats in the first few rows of the Bösendorfer Saal offer the clearest view of the performers and the warmest sound quality, thanks to the hall’s intimate design. If you prefer a broader perspective and more space, Category B seats toward the middle rows provide excellent acoustics and comfort at a slightly lower price.

What happens if I miss my concert time?

Late arrivals are admitted only during intermission out of respect for the performers and audience. If you miss the concert entirely, entry to the museum section remains valid, but concert tickets are non-refundable.

Most visitors spend about 1.5 to 2 hours exploring all three floors of the museum, but if you have an audio guide or concert ticket, plan for up to 2.5 hours to enjoy the experience at a relaxed pace.

What’s the best way to combine a visit to Mozarthaus with other attractions nearby?

Mozarthaus is just steps from St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and within a short walk of the Haus der Musik and the Mythos Mozart immersive exhibition, making it easy to pair multiple musical experiences in a single day.
