Public traffic
Salzburg’s area-wide network of bus lines caters to your every need. The electric trolleys and regular buses carry locals and guests alike to their destination, always stress-free and eco-friendly.
Salzburg boasts an eco-friendly public transportation system that includes electrically powered trolleys as well as buses. Take full advantage of public transport and do your part to protect the climate. Our trolley buses run every 10, 15 or 20 minutes during the day, while most regular buses come every 15 minutes. A special timetable is in effect during the summer holidays between July and August. You can also get home comfortably and safely at night with the NachtStern and Bustaxi. Current bus schedules can be found online at fahrplan.salzburg-verkehr.at.
Single tickets for Salzburg public transportation as well as 24-hour tickets for the central zone are cheaper if you buy them in advance at one of the numerous kiosks (“Trafiken”) throughout Salzburg or from a ticket machine. If you appreciate personal information in addition to the ticket purchase, you can get detailed advice at the ServiceCenter Verkehr at the Lokalbahnhof (basement), the ServiceCenter Alpenstraße or at the customer center of the Salzburger Verkehrsverbund in Schallmoser Hauptstraße. The 24-hour ticket is especially affordable, providing you with a runaround ticket for the entire city. If you plan on staying longer than 4 days in the city, purchasing a weekly pass is definitely worthwhile. All advance tickets must be validated on the first journey in the vehicle.
With the SalzburgMobil app for iPhone, Android and Windows you will always find the best way. The SalzburgMobil app clearly displays all possible connections from your starting point to your destination. In addition, you can use it to buy tickets in advance. You can find more information about the app on the Salzburg AG website.
Alternatively, the Salzburg Transport Association (SVV) offers the Salzburg Transport app. You can find more information on the website of the Salzburg Transport Association.
