- Events: Salzburg Festival dominates late July through August with opera and classical performances, while Advent markets fill Domplatz and Residenzplatz throughout December.
- Prices: Cheapest flights and accommodation rates; book last-minute deals or target post-New Year weeks for maximum savings versus peak summer.
