We will be in Bavaria for 5 days, and 2 of those days are Ascension Thursday & Friday, which I understand are public holidays. Will everything be closed? Would it be best to try to see Salzburg and Neuschwanstein before the holiday? Thanks!

Holidays in Germany mean that the stores and banks close, not the museums, or restaurants, or tourist attractions. The exception being Christmas and New Years holidays. If you check on any of the websites of the tourist venues or museums you want to visit, they should list if they are going to be closed or not.

And FYI, that's a big holiday weekend in Germany. Think of Memorial Day or Labor Day weekends here and the kind of crowds you might see at tourist sites.
