Vienna and Salzburg
The verdict for February
Quiet, cold and good value
+Some of the lowest hotel prices of the year.
–Very cold with short days.
February is among Vienna's quietest months. The Opera Ball and the rest of the ball season peak early in the month, and museums are easy to visit without queues.
Quiet and cheap
+Very few visitors and good value.
–Cold and grey.
February is quiet, with museums and coffee houses easy to enjoy.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
Another month
