How to reach Salzburg and the venue

Plane

Salzburg Airport (SZG) is located just about 4 km outside the city center.
Take bus number 2 (timetable) towards the "Hauptbahnhof" (the main railway station) which takes about 25 minutes. There you have to change to bus number 3 or 6 - and continue as indicated below - to reach the venue. You can also go by taxi (should be a little bit faster - app. 10-15 minutes).

Munich Airport - Vienna Airport (alternate airports)
