Passport / Visa

Austria can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travellers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

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.

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.
