Getreidegasse

View of shoppers on Getreidegasse, which is one of the oldest streets in Salzburg. Most of the buildings feature wrought-iron guild signs hanging above the shops.

Getreidegasse (also known as Grain Lane) is a busy shopping street in the Old-Town section of Salzburg. The house at no. 9 Getreidegasse is the place where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born and where he lived until the age of 17. Originally called Trabegasse (derived from Traben - to trot), its name was changed several times before it became the Grain Lane.

Every day, you can see the famous 'puppet woman' with her brown basket on this street. She is a lady named Maria and sells puppets there since 1987. ^[1].
