Salzburg

Salzburg Airport (SZG) is situated 4 km away from the German border and 4 km from the city centre of Salzburg. Convenient public buses operate on a regular schedule, connecting Salzburg Airport, the main train station, and the city centre. Bus number 2 runs every 15 to 20 minutes throughout the week, providing transportation between Salzburg Main Station and the airport. On Sundays and public holidays, the bus frequency is every 20 minutes. The journey typically takes approximately 23 minutes. For those preferring taxi services, both Salzburg's main railway station and the airport terminal offer dedicated taxi stands. The travel time from the airport to the railway station is around 15 to 20 minutes.

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.

Hailing taxis in Salzburg is easy, but they are expensive. They may not be needed, as most sights are within walking distance of each other. However, if you still require one, taxi ranks can be found all around the town centre. They can also be ordered by phone (+43 662 8111), via an app (Salzburger Taxi 81-11), or online.

Stamps are available from kiosks and tobacconists. The post offices are usually open from Mon–Fri 8am–noon, and 2pm–8pm.
