Street Musicians
The City of Mozart is an inspiration for artists from all over the world and any musical genre. If a few rules are observed, many squares and alleys in the baroque old town can be used as a scenery for street music.
People come from all over the world to hear music in Salzburg. Music and song can be heard not only in concert halls, but also in the streets and plazas. To ensure a pleasant and harmonious time for all, we ask that you respect the rules as they apply in Salzburg:
