I have 5 nights to explore Salzburg and Berchtesgaden. My main goal is to see the overall sights of Salzburg (I am not much of a museum person), maybe do a tour, and in Berchtesgaden, I want to get out and hike. I am trying to decide where is best to stay: either 2 nights in Salzburg, 3 nights in Berchtesgaden, or the other way around, or to stay in one area for the entire 5 nights. I would love suggestions. Thank you!
Public bus runs between Salzburg Hbf and Berchtesgarten Hbf, so there is an option
to stay in 1 place for 5 nights and still access both areas.
Based on your experience, what area would you suggest I stay in? I am not a night person as far as clubs or bars, but I do like to just wander and enjoy the area, and maybe find a good restaurant in the evenings.
When? I vote for all nights in Salzburg, which is very pleasant at night. There are several options for concerts and eateries. And don't forget the Augustine Beer Hall.
Have a great trip!
