After checking in tot the hotel the first stop was Mozart's birthplace. When you first read about a one bedroom apartment and all the children his parents had I was thinking tight quarters. But then the rooms are large and there is a large hallway to get to each. Very spacious. Also only 2 of their children survived long. I remember on some other tour they mentioned it was very unhealthy living. They ate mostly meat, bread and beer. Which was a food not a drink originally. They still seem to have that on their menus except it now includes potatoes and small side salads.
Anyway, I know Mozart did music but I didn't realize he was only 29 when he died or that he did so many operas. Also he had a sister who was just as musically as he was but likely being female didn't give her the opportunities that Amadeus had.
We walked by the Christmas market that was still in full swing. There was a giant cathedral but I guess it was bombed in 44 and rebuilt not sure how much was destroyed.
It's a pretty town with a river thru he middle and high cliff on each side.
