Figaro House, Vienna

Send Photo to a Friend

The "Figaro House" is famous for being the sight where young Herr Mozart wrote "The Marriage of Figaro" Opera. I wouldn't really say that its a tourist trap, but it just didn't have so much to offer.

I really enjoyed theMozart GerbursHaus in Salzberg, but this one is kinda bare, with little in the way of Mozart memorabilia.

Maybe if they decorate it ala the "Amadaes" movie with a harpsicord, and a few empty wine bottles strewn about, it would liven the place up a bit...

Located in Domgasse, walking distance from the Stephansdom.

Bwana_Brown Wed Apr 7, 2004 20:30 UTC The Schonbrunn gardens really do look like an amazing place to visit, judging from your photo!	andal13 Tue Aug 12, 2003 18:48 UTC Did you dance a Viennese waltz at those wonderful gardens?
Confucius Fri May 30, 2003 19:33 UTC I was one of those dumb tourists who bought concert tickets from a Mozart wannabe!	MEdelmann Thu May 15, 2003 19:00 UTC These picture of St. Stepens looks really great and Figaro House is a great tip when in Vienna!
