The experience
About this quest
Salzburg belongs to Mozart. His name is on every street, every café, every chocolate box in this city. But somewhere hidden in its medieval alleyways is a secret even the city has forgotten: a lost opera he never finished.
In this self-guided walking tour of Salzburg, you play Anne, an aspiring pianist racing against time to find Mozart's lost opera before her Juilliard audition. Your search will take you through Getreidegasse, the Alter Markt, Mozartplatz, and the heights of Hohensalzburg, guided by the ghosts of Mozart, Constanze, and the composer's rivals.
One of the most immersive things to do in Salzburg, this Mozart walking tour combines real history, hidden locations, and a mystery that only you can solve.
