Public Transport

Public Transport

Salzburg takes pride in its environmentally friendly public transportation system, which features electric trolleys and buses. The trolleys operate every 10 minutes during the day, while regular buses generally come every 15 minutes. During the summer holidays from July to August, a special timetable is implemented. At night, NachtStern and Bustaxi services are available. To save on fares, it is advisable to purchase single tickets or 24-hour tickets for the central zone in advance. These tickets can be bought from numerous kiosks ("Trafiken") throughout Salzburg or ticket machines. The 24-hour ticket offers great value as it grants unlimited travel within the entire city. If you plan to stay in Salzburg for more than 4 days, purchasing a weekly pass is highly recommended. Remember to validate all advance tickets on the first trip in the vehicle.
