Hi
It is my parents%26#39; 50th wedding anniversary next December and they want to go on a 3-4 day break to Austria for sightseeing but particularly for the Christmas markets. Bearing in mind that they cannot walk vast distances, which is the better venue - Vienna or Salzburg? Apart from getting around, the main consideration is which city/markets are the most picturesque. Thanks in advance ...

Well... Salzburg city centre is very picturesque; Vienna city centre is very nice too. Bear in mind that Vienna is more than 10 times the size of Salzburg. For 1-2 days, I would tend to recommend Salzburg. For 3-4 days, it´s probably Vienna, because there are several very nice Christmas markets, and much more to see. Check a survey of Xmas markets on www.wien.gv.at/english/special/advent/
or …salzburg.info/veranstaltungen_christkindlma…
Getting around is easy in both cities, by bus/tram or taxi

I agree with prior poster that Vienna is the better choice.
You will find many more things to do in Vienna as well as a better variety of Christmas Markets in nice settings.
The Vienna public transport system is very good and allows easy access to most all tourist sights. It is also friendly to older people with elevators or escalators to most all subway stations and more and more streetcars and bus that are low to the ground for easy access.

Thanks folks. Vienna it is, especially as we can also get them on direct flights from London H%26#39;row.
