Introduction

To decode Salzburg under one roof, head to the Salzburg Museum in the Neue Residenz beside Mozartplatz. Galleries run from Celtic and Roman finds through the prince-archbishops' baroque era to the Sound of Music age of mass tourism, with the permanent display weaving politics, art and commerce into a single narrative. The mechanical carillon in the residence tower strikes up daily at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. from a repertoire of several dozen tunes, and the museum's windows frame Mozart's statue on the square — cityscape and exhibit in one glance.

✨ Highlights

Two millennia

Roman finds to tourism posters: one route through the whole city story.

The carillon

The tower's mechanical chime plays daily; the courtyard is the best listening spot.

Baroque galleries

Court silver, models and portraits explain where the city's power came from.

Window on Mozartplatz

Gallery windows frame the composer's statue, folding the street into the exhibition.
