Why visit
Salzburg is an Austria classic for fortress views, baroque streets, music, cafes, river walks, and access into lake-and-mountain country. It works when a small city can hold both culture and scenery.
When to avoid
Avoid Salzburg when festival demand or holiday crowds would make the visit feel compressed. Summer festival weeks and December weekends can raise hotel prices and crowd the small historic center. Winter weather can be wet or icy. Book performances early, separate Mozart-related sites from general sightseeing, and leave time for walking between the river, cathedral quarter, and hills.
