Handy travel tips for Salzburg
Located on the southern border with Germany, Salzburg is Austria's 4th largest city. In winter, Salzburg is the gateway to the Alps with ski resorts like Zell am See, Saalbach, Hinterglemm, or Kitzbühel. But Salzburg has an awful lot to offer besides skiing and snowboarding. Whether you love history, music, or just want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, you will always find something fun to do here.
A layer of snow right out of a fairytale blankets the city during the winter months. Warm up in a cosy restaurant after an adventurous day, and have some delicious schnitzel or Sachertorte and hot chocolate. Pro tip: in January the Austrians celebrate their famous former resident Mozart with a fantastic music festival.
Are you more into summer? Salzburg is fantastic during that season too. Temperatures are between 20°C and 25°C. Go on a walk along the wide boulevards, take a bike ride through the city, or cool down in 1 of the many city parks. There is also plenty to discover outside Salzburg. You will find the most gorgeous hiking and mountain biking trails once the snow has melted away. For example, take the cable car to the top of a mountain and go on a beautiful mountain hike. Don't forget to stop every now and then and enjoy the panoramic views. Prefer to stay in the valley? Go on a cycle through the charming villages. You might even find a lovely lake for a refreshing dip!
