Vienna and Salzburg
The verdict for March
Early spring starts to show
+Milder days and fewer visitors before Easter.
–Still changeable, with chilly mornings.
March sees the city start to open up: cafés put out a few tables and parks begin to green. Easter timing can lift prices and crowds in late March or April.
Thaw and early spring
+Fewer crowds and the first spring days.
–Cold mornings and unsettled weather.
March sees the snow retreat. The Easter Festival at month end is a highlight if it falls in this month.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
Another month
