By bus and bicycle to the Altstadt Salzburg
The environmentally friendly way.
The most convenient way to the Altstadt
Stress-free. Environmentally friendly. Comfortable.
Why does it always have to be the car? We often become too used to our own vehicles, accepting their many disadvantages alongside the supposed advantages. The waiting times at red lights, the annoyance at other drivers and the high volume of traffic during rush hours. Everything could be so relaxed, because the Altstadt is perfectly accessible by public transport. A trip to the Altstadt of Salzburg by bicycle is even more enjoyable - and on top of that, it's a great way to get fit.
Freie Öffis in der Stadt
Oh du schöne Weihnachtszeit! Dieses Jahr lädt die Stadt Salzburg im Advent alle Fahrgäste auf kostenlose Fahrten mit den Öffis ein.
Gültig an allen vier Adventsamstagen und zu Maria Empfägnis
An allen vier Adventsamstagen und zu Maria Empfängnis (28.11, 5.12., 8.12., 12.12. und 19.12.2026) stehen alle Linien des Salzburger Verkehrsverbundes in der Kernzone Salzburg von Betriebsbeginn bis Betriebsende kostenlos ohne Fahrschein zur Verfügung.
Sicher nach Hause zu Weihnachten
Die Weihnachtszeit in Salzburg ist die Zeit für Feiern, Weihnachtsmärkte und geselliges Beisammensein. Doch wo gefeiert wird, fließt oft auch Alkohol – und damit steigt das Risiko für Verkehrsunfälle. Um Unfälle durch Alkohol am Steuer zu verhindern, informiert die bewährte Salzburger Sicherheitskampagne „Sicher nach Hause zu Weihnachten“. Weitere Infos hier.
Shopping Bus-Ticket
Added value when shopping in the Altstadt.
In around 100 participating businesses, you’ll receive a Shopping Bus-Ticket, with which you can return home free of charge. (The campaign may be subject to a minimum purchase value and applies to the central area of Salzburg).
