Which salt mine to visit?
Posted: Tue September 22, 2009 08:43 PM UTC

I am confused as to which salt mine to visit... I have run across three so far, one in berchtesgaden, other in Hallein and one in Hallstat. I will have a car so transportation is not really an issue.

I will be going to Eagle's nest one day, so berchtesgaden would be the most convenient but I don't mind driving to the other ones if they are better. any suggestions?

I plan to be in salzburg for three days, so one day in salzburg, one day at eagle's nest and at the salt mines.

Also, heard that they are some good concerts in the city, any recommendations?

Can I drive myself to sound of music locations myself? Is there a map or guide available?

thanks,

SalzburgCard?
Posted: Sun August 30, 2009 04:36 PM UTC

I have just come across some information regarding the SalzburgCard. It seems like a pretty good deal, since it covers entrance fees to a lot of attractions, as well as public transportation. Has anybody used the card before? Is it as good of a deal as it seems? Thanks

Salzburg-Zurich on overnight train
Posted: Thu July 23, 2009 08:33 PM UTC

I intend to travel on an overnight train from Salzburg to Zurich on 16th Aug. I've checked the obb website and just want to confirm if it is stated as departing 00:44h, does it mean it will depart on the 15th/16th or 16th/17th morning?

And is it better to reserve a ticket or buy the ticket at the station itself? Plus what is there to do while waiting for the train? Is there a place to sleep/rest at the station? I hope someone can help me. Thanks.

How to get to Budapest from Salzburg?
Posted: Mon June 1, 2009 01:21 AM UTC

Hello,

I am traveling to Salzburg and was thinking on extending my trip to visit Budapest. Is the train the best option to get there? If so, how much does it cost and how long would it take me to get there? I was thinking on traveling at night so I can sleep on the train and then have a full day in Budapest and save the hotel money. Is that an option?

Thanks for your advise!

Taxi fare
Posted: Wed April 29, 2009 03:47 PM UTC

How much does it cost to travel by taxi for a 2-3km distance? If there are 4 of us sharing a cab,would each pay not very much more than taking a bus? Is it easy to flag a cab in the old city? Is it customary to tip the driver,and how much? What is the booking fee to arrange a pick up from the hotel? Are the taxi drivers generally honest and go by the metered fare?
