Salzburg is a picturesque town with a stunning medieval old town, an impressive hilltop castle, and gorgeous nature and mountain surroundings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Munich is the third largest city in Germany with about 1.5M souls. It sits near the Southern border of Germany, about an hour&#8217;s drive from Austria, on the Isar River close to the Alps mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Munich is the capital of the Southern state of Bavaria. It has thriving automobile and high-technology industries. It&#8217;s one of the most prosperous and fastest-growing cities in Germany. The city is home to international organizations, major universities and museums, and highly active theatres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salzburg, Austria is a small town (150.000 inhabitants) with a very rich history that dates back to the Roman Empire. Sitting on the edge of the Alps, it was the salt trade that made Salzburg a European powerhouse in the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salzburg attracts millions of visitors each year. The historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with baroque-style buildings and narrow streets. Salzburg is also surrounded by the scenic Austrian Alps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salzburg is the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and has many museums, concerts, and other cultural events dedicated to the composer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What travelers say<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"740\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cityorcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-2023-04-09T151207.852.jpg\" alt=\"Munich, Germany\" class=\"wp-image-2334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cityorcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-2023-04-09T151207.852.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.cityorcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-2023-04-09T151207.852-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption>Munich, Germany<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Salzburg is much smaller and more compact than Munich, with a small-town feel. Most of the scenic sights in the old town can be visited on foot in one or two days. Munich is a big city with many things to see and do, which requires more time<\/li><li>Salzburg is charming and relaxed and has gorgeous architecture, churches, and history. It has attractive squares and pleasant caf\u00e9s with a nice vibe for hanging out.  Travelers are often mesmerized by Salzburg&#8217;s small-town beauty.<\/li><li>Salzburg has breathtaking scenery, stunning hilltop castles, a few Baroque churches, a scenic river, and many day trip options for exploring the surrounding nature and mountains. <\/li><li>When it rains in Salzburg, finding things to do comfortably is harder, whereas Munich has plenty of indoor options including museums, concerts, and historic caf\u00e9s.<\/li><li>Many people love Munich because it has history, technology, nature, great public transport, and a cosmopolitan population with a significant international community.<\/li><li>Munich has great museums (art, technical, cars), the&nbsp;famous English Garden scenic park, the  Viktualienmarkt (a very large, 1800s outdoor food market), and the proximity to the Alps.  It also has great castles, lakes, and Bavarian food.<\/li><li>Munich is an active city with lots of visitors.&nbsp;It&#8217;s much more modern than Salzburg. Three days can only scratch the surface of the interesting things in and around Munich.<\/li><li>For nightlife, Munich wins hands down. While Salzburg has a great deal of atmosphere and it&#8217;s nice to stroll its old town, especially at night, the sights are relatively limited.<\/li><li>Salzburg is sometimes dubbed the Disneyland of classical music.<\/li><li>If you choose Munich but dislike it, you can always take the train to Salzburg for the day, and on to Hallstatt the next day.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Getting around<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Munich has the second busiest airport in Germany following Frankfurt, with flights to and from a large number of European and international destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Munich is a traffic hub with excellent international, national and local connections, running a fast and reliable public transport system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Munich, if you want to see the castles, renting a car is a good option and will cost you the same as public transportation for two or three people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salzburg has an eco-friendly transportation system with electric trolleys running at 10-minute intervals and regular buses running at 15-minute intervals during the day. You can get a card for use across all public transport at the train station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Vibe &amp; people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Munich<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Munich&#8217;s center is more modern with a big city feel, not as atmospheric as Salzburg.&nbsp;It still has an Old World type of feel, however, with a very open, vibrant, and sociable vibe.  While it helps if you understand some German, many of the locals speak good English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to the &#8220;cold&#8221; German stereotype, the locals in Munich are welcoming, including in small villages outside the city &#8211; which commonly have festivals, hiking groups, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Munich is closer to the Bavarian lifestyle, distinct from other parts of Germany.  The city is surrounded by rural areas and has the Alps as a backdrop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although most of the architecture was demolished in World War II, Munich&#8217;s center is beautiful with many old restaurants and pubs.  It&#8217;s always full of tourists seeking to drink good beer and eat Neuschwanstein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Munich is generally quite expensive with many well-paid foreign expats living in the city. It&#8217;s a safe city with very low crime rates by German standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Salzburg<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Salzburg is a very walkable and attractive little city with stunning views, e.g. from the walking bridges toward the old town, including at night.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The old town itself is scenic with its cobbled streets, hidden alleyways, and the great-looking mountains and castle above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to the center, the Kapuzinerberg area with its 640-meter-high mountain, dense forests, churches, abbey, and hiking paths, is also a major attraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelers choose Salzburg for its unique beauty, but also for the welcoming locals, good <strong>restaurants<\/strong> (outside the tourist traps), and easily-to-access surrounding sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to Munich, Salzburg provides a more relaxing experience strolling around the streets, gardens and squares, markets, sitting at coffee houses, and chatting with people. The people are friendly and cheerful, and many locals speak pretty good English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelers sometimes complain about the high number of tourists<strong> <\/strong>in Salzburg including in off-season months. The city&#8217;s shopping street gets invaded by Mozard memorabilia buyers, and costumed street performers are just about everywhere.  Some visitors get &#8220;Mozart overload&#8221; after visiting Salzburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salzburg is a music mecca. There are always several day and evening concerts going on in Salzburg. Going to an evening concert in Mirabell Platz is memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Sights &amp; culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"740\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cityorcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-2023-04-09T151504.476.jpg\" alt=\"Salzburg, Austria\" class=\"wp-image-2336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cityorcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-2023-04-09T151504.476.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.cityorcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Untitled-design-2023-04-09T151504.476-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption>Salzburg, Austria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Munich<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Munich has numerous architectural attractions, international sports events, exhibitions, and conferences.
