Salzburg remains one of my favorite places in Austria! It's small enough to be easily explored on foot but big enough to not get bored on a 3-day visit. 

What Time of Year Should You Go?

Salzburg is great year round, but there are two best times to go! 

My favorite is Christmas: the Salzburg Christmas markets are some of my favorite in Europe. They're magical, built right into the heart of the city, and the setting is just perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit. 

You can read my guide to the Salzburg Christmas markets here: 

Summer is a gorgeous time to go as well! Some activities, like Helbrunn Palace or the Untersbergbahn gondola, are only open in summer. Same for Eagle's Nest (not in town, but a great day trip). So if you're not going for the Christmas markets, save it for warmer weather!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
