Mozarthaus Vienna is a museum in the historic centre of Vienna located in the building where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived during part of his time in the city. It is dedicated to Mozart’s life and work in Vienna and presents a mix of period rooms and documentary displays.

Exhibition galleries cover Mozart’s professional and personal life in Vienna, showing letters, contemporary portraits, period instruments and interpretive material about his compositions and daily circumstances. The apartment section recreates the domestic layout of the rooms where he lived between 1784 and 1787.

The building and its displays trace Mozart’s activities as a composer and performer in late-18th-century Vienna, together with the social and musical context of the city. The museum sits in the Innere Stadt close to major central landmarks and is commonly visited as part of central Vienna itineraries.

Visitors approach the museum on foot from Stephansplatz and other central squares; its location makes it easy to combine with visits to nearby historic sites and concert venues.

• Location: Located at Domgasse 5 in the historic centre of Vienna, within walking distance of St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
• Focus of the collection: The museum focuses specifically on Mozart’s time in Vienna and presents period rooms alongside manuscripts and explanatory displays.

What to See#

• Mozart’s apartment (residence 1784-1787): The small apartment in the museum occupies Mozart’s former residence where he lived from 1784 to 1787 and has been set out to show period domestic rooms.
• Exhibition galleries: The exhibition galleries present documents, period instruments, portraits and interpretive displays on Mozart’s life and work in Vienna.

Mozarthaus Vienna is in central Vienna, a short walk from Stephansplatz. Take the U‑Bahn to Stephansplatz (U1 or U3) and walk 2-3 minutes to the museum in the historic centre; from Vienna International Airport you can drive via the A4 (about a 20-30 minute drive to the city center depending on traffic) or take rail/airport bus connections into central Vienna.

• Buy a timed-entry ticket in advance and aim for the opening hour to avoid queues; the Mozarthaus is small and gets busiest late morning and early afternoon.
• Enter from Domgasse (central Innere Stadt) to arrive at the museum entrance directly and then allow time to move through the reconstructed apartment rooms and the exhibit of original documents and instruments.
• Combine your visit with a short walk to nearby St. Stephen's Cathedral and other historic sites in the Innere Stadt to place Mozart's Vienna in its immediate urban context-many visitors miss the neighborhood perspective.
