Salzburg Travel Forum

hello,

can anyone let me know how long the train ride is from:

Munich to salzburg
Vienna to salzburg

which one is more convenient?

thanks

We are heading to Germany, Austria, and Prague for our honeymoon in December.

Most of the trip will be by rental car. That is until we get to Salzburg where we will drop it off and take another form of transport into Prague.

We are having a hard time figuring out Rail schedules, where they go, prices, etc.

Does anyone have any info on getting from Salzburg to Prague by rail or other alternatives? We are hoping to leave in the morning around 8 or 9 am, so we can get to our hotel in Prague at a reasonable time.

Hi, I'll be visiting Salzbug in 31.7.2008,
and would like to see a show in Marionettentheater.

I found the Nutcracker at 17:00.

From you experience, is it necessary to make a pre-reservation for tickets,
or it is fine to but just before the performance?

hi my friends,
I''probably move to salzburg at the end of this year,can someone can tell me how is the life there and also how is the people?I m italian,now I live in the suoth of austria and I find here the people vary closed and not friendly.
Can I have also the opinion of the people that live there but are strangers..

Thanks

Hello
How would you spend 3 days in Salzburg (we will have a car)

Thanks

Hi

Has any one please got the times the Nunns sing vespers in August. We visited last year in May and it was 6.15 pm - does the time change for summer

Thanks

Myself, my husband, and three teen children will be flying into Munich at 16:30 on July 16 because it was quite a bit cheaper to fly there from Stockholm than to fly directly to Salzburg (our destination). I can find train schedules on the Deutsche Bahn website, but would like to compare the price and schedule of taking a bus. Where could I find that on the Internet? And should I even consider the bus?

We will be returning to Munich that Friday to continue our vacation (by renting a car and visiting a relative in Bavaria). Would it be better to get round trip tickets from Munich to Salzburg & back? Are tickets easy to get on the spot or should I buy them ahead of time online?

Thanks for any advice,
Trish

Last May we were priviliged to hear the Nuns at the 6.15 pm service sing. This year we are returning in August - can anyone please confirm the time of this service - as its summer will it be a different time. Hope someone can help me

Thanks

I know that you can get the Bavaria group ticket as part of the journey to Salzburg from Munich but i assume you must change trains/get a new ticket towards the end of the journey!? Can anyone tell me if this is the case?

Hello, Could you please let me know how long the train trip is from Munich to Salzberg is. We are staying in Munich the weekend before Christmas and hoping to go to Salzberg for a day trip and do a Sound of Music tour.
Thank you so much,
Kind regards,
Helen

Can you help me in finding a good bakery in Salzburg that offers personalised heartshaped cakes that can be written "Ich liebe dich" on the front? Am planning a trip in late June and keen to find the right place that offers this.

Hello!
I will be going to Salzburg as a volunteer for the EURO 2008 (around 9-20th June). I am really excited but all accomdation is booked out during this time.
Can anyone suggest any accomodation in the city?
I know it might be a long shot, but a local website which would list room rentals for a couple of weeks would be ideal.
Thanks!

is there any recommendation for a hostel in salzburg?
and i'm planning to spend a full day to go to vienna, any recommendations there?
thx!

I'll stay at Salzburg for a night and the other day I'll go to Garmisch Partenkirchen, I'd like to know:

- How to go there by train or bus?

or is it good to go to Berchtesgaden, I'd like to experienced the Alp and snow
mountain view, I travel with my one year child also.
Thank you very much

Hello VT members,

I am now starting to plan our trip to Austria in May. We will be flying into Salzburg on 10 May at 9.30pm. So far the plan is to spend 3 nights in Salzburg, 1 night in Hallstatt, 3 nights in Vienna and 3 nights in Prague. I would appreciate any advice and help on the following:

1) cheap accomodation in Salzburg, and Vienna.
2) things to do in Salzburg and Vienna.
3) train fares and times to Hallstatt, Vienna and Prague.

Thank you for your advice.

Hi, My friend and I will be visiting salzburg in 3 wks and will need some advice planning my trip. I have 5 full days in total, and I'm thinking of spending the first 1 1/2 days in munich, den a train down to salzburg (I'm flying into munich, flying out of salzburg)

In the 3 and a half days in Salzburg, I would like to cover the following

1) sound of music attractions (tour?)
2) Salt Mine (tour?)
3) Mozart tour (is this worth it at 23 euros? or better to go by myself)
4) Visit the snow peaks and do something. (I dont mind spending a day on this. I have never skied or been to the snow peaks before. Would like suggestions on what to do.)

I read that Hallstatt is nearby, and on their website, there are links to snow related activites. It is also near the salt mine right? If so, is it better to go on the tours, or to cover it myself?

Also, It seems that snow buses from salzburg to the different snow peaks (different one each day?), as well as salt mines in salzburg. I am confuse about the difference between hallstatt and salzburg since they offer similar activities.

Can someone please advice me on how many as well as which tour I should go for? (saltmine.sound of music. mozart)Should I pay to go on the saltmine tour or to go for it myself? (do the tours cover the same area in the outskirts?)Should I go for all 3 tours and then plan a separate trip up to the snow mountains or what? I cannot drive and will thus need to rely on public transport. Anyway help will be greatly appreciated.

Could someone recommend me low-cost accommodation for a family (3 persons)planning to visit Salzburg (3-4 days)? The accommodation has to be under 20 EUR per person. Thank you in advance!

Is there anyone here attending Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance? I would be very very grateful about some informations so please contact me! tnx!

Hi!

We have booked a trip to Munich/Salzburg in the beginning of June this year and I found it very difficult to find avaliable rooms in Salzburg on that period. So I was wondering if it will be something special then och is it just a regular summer-fever to start booking everything now and at that particular time?:-)
Thanks for your answers!

Has anyone stayed in the last year at the Gastehaus Steinerhof in Salzburg?

My husband and I will be vacationing in Salzburg in September and we are looking for a nice place to go Ballroom dancing; also looking for a nice restaurant for our 25th wedding anniversary. Would anyone have ideas?

Hi
I'm visiting Salzburg for 3 days next week & hope to go to the mountains to try tobaganning. Anyone got any experience? I understand the snow shuttle will take me to the slopes - is it necessary to book in advance? And where can I hire a toboggan? On the slopes or in town before I go?
Also does anyone know if the train strike is still going ahead next week? I'll be in Salzburg 9th-12th January
Thanks

I will be in Berchtesgaden in Germany and travel back via Munich on 9th January.
Train Drivers in Deutsch Bahn have give notice of a strike from 7th.
So my pre purchased rail ticker may be of little use.
Can anyone give information of Bus/Coach transport from Salzburg (Airport or City Centre) to Munich (Again Airport or City Centre).
Info with web addresses wound be especially helpful.
I feel a contingency plan rather than panic on the 8th might make a better end to our holiday
