Mozart lived in fourteen different houses during his ten years in Vienna. The only one still standing is Nº 5 Domgasse Street. The house is 180m2 and from January the 27th on it will become a 1,000m2 visiting experience. There are over 200 museums in Vienna as well as the three operas that put on 17 shows a week.
