Salzburg weather and the famous Schnürlregen

Salzburg sits right at the northern edge of the Alps, and the mountains catch the clouds: it is one of the wettest cities in Austria, with rain on 15–19 days a month from May to August. Locals even have a word for the steady, string-like drizzle — Schnürlregen. Summers are pleasantly warm at 22–24 °C, while winters are cold, with highs of 3–7 °C and frost on most nights.

When to come

September and early October are often the most settled months, with 15–19 °C and fewer rainy days — ideal for the walk up to Hohensalzburg Fortress and the views over the old town. Summer brings the Salzburg Festival from late July to August and open-air events such as the Electric Love Festival, while Advent fills the Cathedral Square and the Residenzplatz with Christmas markets.

Rain plans

Pack an umbrella in any season. When the Schnürlregen sets in, visit Mozart’s Birthplace in the Getreidegasse, the DomQuartier with the cathedral and the state rooms of the Residenz, or the salt mine in nearby Hallein, where the temperature underground stays the same all year.
