What to expect in Salzburg

Salzburg is one hour ahead of Birmingham and the local currency is the Euro (€). Salzburg has warmer summers and colder winters than Birmingham. During July and August it can get as warm as 24°C, the ideal temperature for hitting the Alps and doing your best Maria Von Trapp impression. Winter is a different story, with temperatures dropping as low as -4°C during January and February. Funnily enough, this is the high season as people descend on the nearby ski slopes.

Salzburg is quite an expensive city to visit. Dinner for two in a mid-range restaurant costs more than £51* on average (compared to £45* in Birmingham). A pint of beer is about the same price in both destinations, however.
