Hallstatt salt mines were the highlight of the trip, we really like the guided tour guide.
Also the agent at Megadrive told us to give salzburg a day to explore, we weren't planning to, but following his recommendation we found that Salzburg was a beautiful city!

Car not needed if only staying in Salzburg itself as public transport is great and included with the salzburg visitor card. If travelling further afield then definitely recommend.
