The family travelled frequently, taking Wolfgang and Nannerl around Europe to perform as child prodigies. They began these performances in the Imperial Courts in Vienna and Prague, and then undertook a three-and-a-half-year-long concert tour. The tour took them to the courts of Munich, Mannheim, Paris, London, Dover, The Hague, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Mechelen, back to Paris and then home via Zurch, Donaueschingen and Munich. This tour was instrumental in introducing Mozart to other musicians, and he familiarised himself with the works of other composers. One of his greatest influences during this time was Johann Christian Bach, who he visited in London in 1764 and 1765.
