Hohensalzburg Fortress

Salzburg

If you go to visit one castle in Austria and Southern Germany, make it this one. Hohensalzburg is the largest completely intact medevial fortress in Central Europe. Thousand years (almost) of massive stone work sit on a hill and loom over the Salzach River with the city clustering around its ancient protection. Inside the fortress there is an extensive museum about the history of the castle and the region. Don't miss one of the guided tours that take you to the parts of the fortress that are not open to visitors otherwise. Get there with the Festungsbahn (funicular railway), built in 1991 originaly powered by water (today electric).

Sound of Music Tour

Who doesn´t know the film the Sound of Music, about the family von Trapp? The film was shot in Salzburg and in the region surrounding the city. There are a couple of tours that can bring you to the original places where the film was shot. Most of the tours depart daily and take around 4 hours.

Hellbrunn Palace

The Hellbrunn Palace built by Markus Sittikus von Hohenems after he became Arcbishop of Salzburg in 1613 - 1619 in Mannerist Baroque stye if famose for it's jeux d'eau (watergames) with practical jokes like stone seats around a stone table through which water gets sprayed into the seat of the guests or hidden fountains that spray guests while walk around. This Arcbishop had a rather nasty humor. The busline 25 from main train station (via city centre) gets you there.

By Plane

Salzburg Airport (SZG) named W.A. Mozart Airport is situated at the west of the city, only 2.5 kilometres away from the city centre. Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Flybe, Transavia and Thomson Airways, are amongst the airlines that have regular flights to this airport. There are several dozens of airlines more though, some of them being charter airlines.
Some main destinations include Brussels, Copenhagen, London, Dublin, Berlin, Zürich, Bucharest, Corfu, Gran Canaria, Santorini, Zakynthos, Oslo, Warsaw, Stockholm, Moscow, Crete, Tenerife, Rhodes, Saint Petersburg, Rotterdam, Kiev and Tallinn.

Another option to reach Salzburg by air is to fly to the nearby airport in Munich and travel the last bit by train. There are many intercontinental flights to Munich.

By Train

ÖBB (Österreiche Bundesbahn) has train to/from Salzburg. Fast trains leave from the Hauptbahnhof hourly for Vienna’s Westbahnhof (3½ hours), travelling via Linz (1½ hours). The two-hourly express service to Klagenfurt (3¼ hours) runs via Villach. From Salzburg Hauptbahnhof to Vienna you can also go with the cheaper Westbahn. Trains run hourly and you can get tickets in the train or online.

Trains depart at least every two hours for Innsbruck (two hours) and stop at Kufstein. Trains to Munich take about two hours and run every 30 to 60 minutes, some of the trains continuing to Karlsruhe via Stuttgart.

Getting Around

By Car

Driving around Salzburg can be a pain. The road names are small and written in a "traditional" German font which can be hard to read. The best bet is to get into the city, find a parking space, and travel by foot. Be sure that if you are driving in cold weather to be prepared for snow. Snow chains should be recommended, in extreme weather. (All cars must have snow tires (Winterreifen) by law from October to April).

By Public Transport

There is a network of city buses, the Stadtbus, with numbers from 1 to 8 (O-Buses, electric) and 20-27 (fuel-powered). A single trip costs €1.60 (€2.40 in the bus), a 24h ticket costs €3.30 (when bought at the vending machine). There also daily, weekly and monthly passes. Make sure that you do not catch one of the last buses. They will take you several kilometers out of town with your only way back being by walking or taxi. If you need to get somewhere late at night it may be best to take a taxi or walk. Bus tickets can be bought on the buses from the bus driver, but are more expensive (€2.40 compared with €1.60 at the vending machine).

The "Lokalbahn" train has a separate train station under the main train station and travels in the direction of Oberndorf and Lamprechtshausen. Tickets can be bought on the train.

Another option for exploring areas around the main city (Bad Ischl, Fuschlsee, etc.) are the POST-BUSes. These also leave from the main train station; tickets can be bought from the driver.

By Foot

The best way to get around Salzburg is by foot.

By Bike

An excellent option is renting a bike. Salzburg has over 100 kilometres of bike paths, and using this mode of transportation is often faster than bus, car or foot. There are also excellent bike paths on either side of the river which you can follow to either Freilassing (35 minutes), Oberndorf or Hallein (each about an hour away).
