Many of the sights of Innsbruck from the time of the Mozart´s visits are still splendidly preserved, including the "Golden Roof", , St. Anne´s Column, the renaissance Belfry and the Triumphal Arch, the "Hofburg" with the sumptuously decorated Giant´s Hall as well the Cathedral of St. James and the Abbey Church of the Wilton.

On their way to Italy fort he third time, Mozart and his father arrived in Innsbruck at 10 p.m. on 25 October 1772 and lodged here in the Golden Eagle Inn, which was at the post stop. Again, when returning, Leopold had his wife send mail here, as he was planning to stay here again when he arrived, around 12 March 1773. The "Golden Eagle" today a **** hotel, has had many distinguished guests: Goethe, Heinrich Heine, King Gustav III of Sweden, and Emperor Joseph II (who travelled incognito as the count of Falkenstein on 29 July 1777, after a secret visit to his sister Marie Antoinette in France).

On their way to Italy for the first time, Mozart and Leopold notified Count Johann Spaur that they had arrived, and soon received a note from Count Leopold Franz Künigl, the vice-president of the provincial government, inviting them to a concert at his home the next evening, December 17 1769, at 5 p.m. Mozart played a "very beautiful concerto" at sight, and Leopold wrote his wife that they were "as usual, received with all honours." Leopold received twelve ducats as an honorarium. The building, which has been altered since the time of Mozart, has been attributed to Johann Martin Gumpp the Elder and is presently Palais Trapp, in the private ownership of the Trapp family. The interior cannot be visited. However, the splendid ornate portal, leading to a courtyard renovated in the old style, is of interest. The public may visit the inner courtyard and the entrance to the stairway.

Upon arriving in Innsbruck on December 16 1769, Leopold had himself announced to his countryman Johann Nepomuk Spaur, who was Governor on the tirol. Leopold wrote that count Spaur sent his servant immediately and later sent his coach to their lodging at 2 p.m.. His wife then "received them graciously," and Count Spaur left his coach at their disposal. The present building, probably originally made up of threee houses, was built together (three stories high) when it was inhabited by Count Johann Nepomuk Spaur. In 1921 it was reconstructed by Welzenbach, with the façade completely redone, an the interior extensively renewed.

On October 26 1772, on the way to Italy fort he third time, Leopold and Wolfgang made an afternoon excursion to this abbey, located about seven miles from Innsbruck. Leopold was interested in walking around the Royal Abbey, and Countess Marianne Lodron showed them all around. Mozart played the organ in the abbey church. Several years after the secularization ordered by Emperor Joseph II in 1783, the organ was moved to Fügen, where it is found today, although not in a completely preserved state.
