By Bus/Tram

The city buses and trams provide quick, comfortable service through the city center from the Nonntal parking lot to Sigsmundsplatz, the city-center parking lot. Buses stop running at 11pm. Travelers can get a direct shuttle bus from Munich International Airport to Salzburg. The city itself is served by an extensive network of public buses including a limited night service. The bus station is situated opposite the main railway station.

By Car

Driving a car in Salzburg is definitely not recommended. In most places it’s impossible, since the monumental landmark center is for pedestrians only. Public parking lots – designated with a large P – are conveniently located throughout the city. If you’re driving into Salzburg, leave your car on the left bank of the Salzach River. You’ll find convenient underground parking lots like the one at Monchsberg, from which it’s an easy walk to the center and Domplatz.

By Taxi and Horse-Drawn Cab

You’ll find taxi stands scattered at key points all over the city center and in the suburbs. A “traditional taxi” – a Fiaker (horse-drawn cab) – will provide you with not only a ride, but a bit of history of the region as well. You can also rent a Fiaker at Residenplatz.

By Air

Salzburg Airport is connected by regular services to all major European destinations. There are direct daily flights from London Stansted. The flight takes only 50 minutes. The airport offers several restaurants and snack bars as well as shopping on Sundays.
