How to avoid the worst of it today

Walk the Monchsberg rim. The clifftop path from the Museum der Moderne to the fortress — the whole city below, wooded quiet above, on any calm morning.
Give Hellbrunn its mischief. The trick fountains without a queue behind you, the gardens and the palace's yellow calm — the archbishop's joke, best delivered slowly.

Where the crowds are

The Getreidegasse & the birthplace: One lane takes the whole town's foot traffic.
The funicular base: The city's single real queue, late morning on.

Quiet places in Salzburg

The Monchsberg paths: Clifftop woods directly above the crush.
Steingasse & the right bank: The medieval lane and river walks opposite the old town.
