Classical music is central to Salzburg's identity as Mozart's birthplace. The city hosts numerous concerts year-round, with the famous Salzburg Festival in summer being a major highlight. Many venues offer daily concerts, from intimate chamber music to grand opera. Booking concert tickets in advance is recommended, especially during festival season.
Salzburg's historic center is very walkable and compact, with most major attractions within easy reach on foot. The old town features some cobblestone streets and hills leading to the fortress, which may be challenging for wheelchairs and strollers. However, funicular railways and elevators help access higher areas.
Salzburg is extremely safe for visitors with very low crime rates. Violent crime is virtually non-existent against visitors. Exercise normal precautions against pickpockets in crowded tourist areas. The city center is well-lit and safe to walk around at any time of day or night.
Tipping in Salzburg restaurants is customary, typically 5-10% of the bill for good service. Round up to the nearest euro or add a few euros. Give tips directly to servers rather than leaving cash on tables. In cafes, rounding up is common, while taxi drivers appreciate small tips or rounding up the fare.
Austria uses the euro as its official currency. Credit cards are accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and larger shops, but smaller establishments and traditional cafes often prefer cash. ATMs are readily available throughout the city center, and it's wise to carry some euros for tips and smaller purchases.
German is the official language, with a distinctive Austrian dialect. English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions. Many locals, especially younger people and those in the tourism industry, speak excellent English. Learning basic German greetings is appreciated by locals.
Must-try Austrian specialties include Wiener Schnitzel, Salzburger Nockerl (sweet souffle), Apfelstrudel, and Kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancake). Visit a traditional Kaffeehouse for coffee culture and cakes like Sachertorte. Don't miss local beer varieties and seasonal dishes featuring game and hearty Alpine ingredients.
The best time to visit Salzburg is late spring through early fall (May to September). Summer offers the warmest weather and music festival season but brings crowds. Spring and fall provide pleasant temperatures with fewer visitors. Winter can be magical with Christmas markets and possible snow, though some attractions may have limited hours.
