Top 10 Specialty Museums in Salzburg, Austrian Alps
It’s been 200 years or so since he lived here, but Mozart is still very much Salzburg’s favorite son. Visit the composer’s residence and birthplace, then explore the Altstadt (Old City), taking in the baroque architecture. If your musical tastes run more "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens" than "Requiem in D Minor," catch one of the many Sound of Music tours and follow in the footsteps of the Von Trapps.

4. Villa Trapp The original Sound of Music Family Home
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5 reviews
The Villa Trapp is the original living house of the Sound of Music Family. It was not a movie location, this is the real thing. Visitors may walk on the paths of the family see their park, their Living room learn about the true story and where the Sound of Music differs from real life. The Villa Trapp adds a lot of information to the world's most seen musical film.

Hands-on-Museum, Children's Museum. The Toy Museum invites you into the world of playing. The main focus lies on experiencing and giving things a try, many toys that you can play with are waiting for you. Therefore: take off your shoes, grab some slippers and off you go!

The Salzburg Toy (Spielzeug) museum is not a conventional museum but is as much a place to play as it is to see exhibits. Of course, it does have toys and games from the past on display, but these are interspersed with a wide variety of play areas. These range from: amazing marble run - race tracks (they will give you marbles to play with at reception), train sets, building sets, a lovely children’s library with plenty of cosy corners to snuggle up and read books together, fairy- tale themed play houses e.g. Snow White’s cottage, the Gingerbread House etc. and a puppet theatre so you can put on your own glove puppet show. There’s even an internal slide to get from one floor to the next. There is so much here to feed a young child’s imagination. The whole museum is kept very clean, this is aided by swapping one’s outdoor shoes for indoor ones on arrival or putting plastic liners over one’s own shoes. Whilst this museum will mostly appeal to the under tens I think anyone who is young at heart will enjoy it too. We went as a group of two sixty - year olds and two thirty- year olds and we all had fun. The Salzburg Toy museum is in the centre of town so it easy to combine a visit here with seeing other attractions. It currently costs 4.50 Euros for adults and children cost 2.00 euros with family tickets/ concessions also available, you can also get free entry if you have a Salzburg card. I believe it is open every day except Monday. The museum has a gift shop and clean toilets. Overall, a great place for anyone who likes to play like a child.

Accessed this small museum with the Salzburg Card, thus no entrance fee. Interesting paintings and artwork.The main draw though is the panorama painting of Salzburg. You head up the steps and are treated to a view of what Salzburg looked like many years ago. Good, quick stop. During hot days, it's a good place to dip into the A/C, see some city history and then continue on your own through Salzburg.
