The Mozart Route (Historical and Legendary Figures of Europe)

The theme was integrated into the Council of Europe programme in 1990, the network was approved in 2002 and the route was awarded certification as a “Cultural Route of the Council of Europe” on 16 June 2004.
The route shows how the renowned composer was inspired by his journeys, given that he spent over ten years of his thirty-five years life traveling throughout Europe.
At the instigation of Salzburg province, an extensive network has been set up along eighteen historic routes taken by Mozart, linking up some two hundreds towns visited by Mozart in ten European countries.
