Getreidegasse
Getreidegasse (Salzburg, Austria) – Getreidegasse (or Grain Lane in German) is a busy pedestrian-only shopping street in the historic Altstadt of Salzburg, Austria, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. It is known for the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at No. 9, where he lived until the age of 17.
Nowadays, most people are attracted to this street because of its multitude of shops selling jewelry, “trachten” (or traditional costumes), the latest fashions, antiques, leather & paper goods, perfumes, delicatessen, and just about anything else that shoppers would want. Even today, the elegant and intricate guild signs of the restaurants, shops and workshops project above the visitors’ heads.
