I and my family (couple plus daughter of 15 years of age) plan to visit Austria in second half of August. It is the time when the Festival is held. My doubt is whether it will be difficult to find a hotel room in this period. Besides, how the city will look like during this period. In time allows, I may wish to go to one of the concerts or performance. What is the best way to go and will there by any package deal attractive?
Thank you for your response.

No idea whether it is decisively harder to find an affordable accomodation. But for reassurance I would start looking for an accommodation as early as possible. I would not worry.

Be aware that during the Salzburg festival, accomodation in the city gets very expensive, especially luxury hotels, which sometimes charge double or triple rates compared to off-season. Even cafés and restaurants are said to switch to more expensive menus during festival.
Be prepared to pay a lot and reserve early, then it shouldn%26#39;t be a problem to find a hotel room.
It%26#39;s a great season to visit, but obviously the city will be rather packed. Do consider staying a bit outside, maybe in the lake district from where the city can be reached easily by public transport.
