Getreidegasse is a charming narrow street where one feels the true atmosphere of what was baroque Salzburg. The busy little shops, the crowds and the iron signs above your head make you feel almost you are living in a fairytale.

Getreidegasse is the main shopping street in Salzburg and every store is required to have wrought iron sign above. This tradition dates from the days when the people could not read and the icon would tell them what the shop was. Today even MacDonald’s has a wrought iron sign.

Mozart’s house is located on number 9 Getreidegasse and it is turned into museum open daily.
