Advantages: lovely town, beautiful scenery, a lot of history and culture Disadvantages: sometimes crowded (mainly in August)
...Salzburg is a lovely town in Austria, with a population of less than 150,000. It is the birthplace of Wolfang Amadeus Mozart. I have been there a number of times and I will certainly go there again.
For many centuries, Salzburg was dominated by the Prince-Archbishops, and you can still see many signs of their power nowadays.
