Salzburg is the old capital of the federal land of Salzburg. The city was built on the site of salt deposits, as the literal translation of the name of the city of Salzburg speaks - "Salt Fortress". But great fame all over the world Salzburg received thanks to his compatriot - the great Austrian composer V.A. Motzart.
In honor of the composer in the city named almost every third store, all sales of stores are associated with the advertising of Mozart. Salzburg Airport is even the name of the Great Maestro, not to mention the squares, streets and museums.
To get to the city of "Mozart", as they call their city. The local population is possible without difficulty, by booking an air flight by any national or European airline.
It is noteworthy that the difference in pricing policy between airlines from different countries of the CIS is very significant. Faile's flights are provided for residents of Ukraine. From the Central International Airport "Borispol" flight to Salzburg at a price of 1120 hryvnia (165 dollars). The only "minus" for tourists from Ukraine is that there are no direct flights to Salzburg, flights of airmarshrutes are carried out through any European airport (the best option to select flight to the city of Vienna). At the same time, from Russia (Vnukovo and Domodedovo Airport), it is there that the most economical tickets to the air flight) - direct flights to Salzburg are carried out, but the ticket price is three times more. Compare 165 dollars Borispol Airport Ukraine, 433/450 Vnukovo Airport / Domodedovo Airport.
Salzburg International Airport named after Mozart - the main aircraft of the city. Flights are organized here from almost all cities in Europe and the CIS countries. It is a 30-minute drive from Salzburg and, as it should be the international airport, has excellent transport links directly to the city of Salzburg itself.
Tourists departing flights of Ukrainian airlines are the best option to fly to the capital of Austria, and from there by rail directly to Salzburg. The ticket is within 43 euros, the time of follow in Salzburg is three and a half hours. But here you can save a bit on buying a railway ticket buying a group ticket. It is noteworthy that the price of the group ticket is unchanged and does not depend on the number of passengers. A ticket for two prices is equivalent by the price of a ticket for a company of 5 people, which is very profitable and economically traveing a large company or as part of the family.
Here, at the Railway Station itself, I recommend paying attention to the ITZlinger Hof hotel.
It is similar to the transit hotel, mainly its visitors - tourists who arrived in the city for several days. You can, of course, find more comfortable accommodation, directly in the city center, but such a hotel will be much more expensive, and the difference in comfort is almost not significant. The hotel is located within walking distance of the train station, a bit far from the center (10-15 minutes by public transport), but such removal with interest is compensated by the price policy. The hotel accommodation will cost 48 euros for a standard room with decent conditions. Quiet, relaxing hotel without extra pompousness. Excellent double room, good bathroom. By the way, in the bathroom, the towels give out "Uyma", almost for all the limbs their towel. Satellite television, free Wi-Fi. In addition, the payment for the room includes a very responding breakfast (freshly squeezed juices, baking, yogurts). The hotel has its own restaurant, in which a very modest amount of 15 - 20 euros can be not bad.
The kitchen is mostly national, but rather tasty.
Who wants to have a snack between dinner and dinner, there is an excellent pizzeria nearby. Immediately, simply at the hotel you can rent a bike, the cost of renting "ecological transport" per day will cost 9 euros. Among other things, the hotel is located near the main routes of public transport. The bus stop "Verquesttenshtrase" is located just at the entrance to the hotel. In the city, from public transport, buses and trolley buses run. It is very profitable to use precisely trolleybus transport,
They follow more than 20 routes of the city, including the naturally historic center of the city.
Tickets can be purchased from the driver. The price of 1 travel ticket is 1.8 Euro, a daily ticket (again at the driver) at a price of 4.2 euros or a weekly ticket - 11.7 euros. By the way, such tickets can be bought not only by the driver, they are sold in any tobacco kiosks and stand a little cheaper.
But, the most economical option is a ticketing ticket for 24, 48 and 72 hours. I recommend to buy such a travel in obligatory strand. The benefit is obvious. The "Salzburg" card gives its owner the right to free travel by all types of public transport, free entrance to all significant museums of the city and the most important thing is free use of the funicular, one of the main attractions of the city - Hohensalzburg Fortress. At the price of a card in 25 euros per person, costs pay off at times. You can purchase such a map directly at the railway station and international airport.
Sights of Salzburg, all as one, are in the historic part of the city, almost in close proximity to the station. The city is as if divided into two parts of the River Salz. On the one hand, the old town, with its historical values, centuries-old traditions, old castles and palaces, on the other - a modern city-shaped in glass and concrete.
Fans of shopping, souvenir products I recommend visit the Europark shopping center,
He is rightfully considered the largest in the city. Shopping center shops are open until 19:00, the choice here is wide and diverse, both for the price and by the goods. But, nevertheless, most shops are located in the old, historic city. Let them are not so huge as in the mall, but on the quality of the goods do not infer at all, and some even won, even by pricing. The only difference is souvenir shops and shops, they work even on weekends and stayed.
If hungry, walking around the city recommend decent and inexpensive Zipfer Bierhaus restaurant in the University Square area. With a modest price of 20 euros - excellent national and European cuisine. You can eat quite well. Very excellent strokes prepare.
