Personally I love Salzburg - been about 5 or 6 times. Be warned though, eating out is very expensive, although there is a McDonalds in Getreidegasse if you get desperate!
I wouldn't say it's baby friendly as such, but the people are very friendly and helpful and will help you with buggy/highchairs etc. There are a lot of cobbled streets and uneven paths etc (obviously, as it's a very old city) so you may want to have a careful think about what type of buggy/pushchir to take. I'd take a cheap folding buggy and a good sling!
I went to Vienna for a day trip years ago and found it much more cosmopolitan than Salzburg and still pretty expensive. Maybe someone else has been more recently and can advise?

Definitely Vienna. You can not move in Salzburg there are always so many tourists (no quiet season as such) so it´s a bit if a stress in narrow streets with the buggy.
I think Austria is quite baby friendly personally and I´m sure yoü´ll have a great time!

Vienna definitely - very cosmopolitan, lovely cafes, museums, architecture, even the trams are fun to ride on. Salzburg is fine if you like the Sound of Music and Mozart - I found it a little wearing after a while! We went pre-kids, so can't comment on baby-friendlyness, but the Europeans are generally pretty good. Enjoy yourselves whatever you do - getting away anywhere with a 5 month old sounds good!
