Best time to visit
Salzburg shines in winter with snowed-in old town and Christmas markets through January. Spring is perfect for sightseeing without snow and alpine walks nearby. Autumn brings golden light. Summer draws crowds and higher fares. Check each specific date to see what the flight costs that day.
