New Town:
The beautiful Mirabell Park and Gardens are a short walk from the hotel. This is a large city park, about 3/4 of a mile long. The tulips were in full bloom, bordered by pansies. The trees were beginning to bloom as well.
On the other side of the park from the hotel, is the Mozarthaus Museum, where Mozart (1756-1791) and his family lived from 1773 to 1780. The house has a large ballroom and 6 other rooms. The ballroom was used by Mozart’s father, Leopold, for concerts and tutoring.
The most exciting artifacts were a grand piano that Mozart used for his concerts around town, a harpsichord and Leopold’s violin. It felt like a pilgrimage to visit Mozart’s home.
Sounds wonderful, Nili! A delight (as always) to hear about your travels and see the photos. I especially like the photos of the Mozarthaus Museum.
It’s been fun to read this with our friends Margaret and Wiken
