During the 17th-18th centuries, musicians studying or seeking better employment (from court aristocrats, etc) traveled all over Europe. One of them, Mozart, started traveling throughout Europe at the age of 6 and spent one third of his life doing so. However, traveling was not easy as riding on the uneven roads were extremely uncomfortable. There was also the threat of robber attacks at night, and carriages overturning due to their wheels breaking.
