Trip to Salzburg in late February

Trip to Salzburg in late February
Save

My whole family is planning a trip into Germany, passing by Austria and then down to Italy and Greece. Our hope is go to Patras/Greece for the Carnival in the first week of March 2008. We'd like to stay/tour in the city of Salzburg for only 2-3 nights.

Is it really THAT COLD in Salzburg during February? Is it worth of visiting Slazburg in February? We are Chinese who have been living in Seattle. We seem to be more confused with the hot and cold weathers than other people. Ha ha.

Your advice will be extremely appreciated! Thanks.

Well, it's winter here in February, sometimes it gets really cold. But it will be freezy in Germany either, consider that if you have problems with extreme temperatures.

The interesting side of winter is the beauty caused by the snow. I love snow and villages covered by it.

Be prepared for heavy conditions! The recent winter was very warm, the next could be cold again.

Thanks A LOT for your feedback!

Perhaps my family will plan our trip in reverse so that we will be in Austria and Germany in late March after Greece and Italy.

By the way, this is the first time for me to get info/share about traveling with experienced travellers online. So cool!

Go-Donkey, you're so cute!

We're going to Salzburg, but not till May next year. Would LOVE to see the snow covering everything, but I'm an Arizonian, and I don't like the cold.

Salzburg in late March is the best!

I've visited Salzburg three times and by far would recommend visiting in March. Minimal tourist crowds, easy to get tables in restaurants, cafes and bars.
