By Tour Bus to Salzburg

The Old Town of Salzburg is a popular pedestrian zone. With the two terminals in Paris-Lodron-Strasse and Nonntal, travellers by bus are only a few minutes walk away from the city center. Since June 2018, coaches have to be registered and time slots for drop-off and pick-up of guests need to be booked.

Salzburg coach regulations

The Nonntal terminal or the terminal in Paris-Lodron-Straße must be used to drop off and pick up passengers when visiting Salzburg's Old Town. The online booking system for coaches provides a platform for booking time slots passenger drop-off and pick-up at the terminals. A parking space at the south or north coach park is included free of charge when booking a time slot. The cost of this is € 90. The primary goal of this measure is to better direct and control the flow of tourists. The engine must be switched off while stopping at the terminals.

For destinations outside the old town that can be reached directly, e.g. hotels, restaurants, schools, etc., no booking is required in the online booking system.

 

Parking spaces for coaches

There are two coach parking areas in the city of Salzburg. Parking fees for the South and North coach parking areas are €20 per hour (maximum daily rate €90). Public bus services (trolleybus lines 3 and 8) run from the South coach parking area to the city centre. From the North coach parking area, please take a taxi.

Buses whose passengers are visiting the water games can park free of charge at the Hellbrunn bus park. When purchasing an admission ticket and handing in the entry ticket, a free exit ticket is issued at the water games ticket office. This entitles the holder to one free exit. The regular parking fee is €10 per hour (maximum daily rate €50).

Exceptions to this are the North, South and Hellbrunn coach car parks and private coach parking spaces at hotels and restaurants. This parking restriction must be strictly observed. Please note that this is subject to increased monitoring and enforcement.

Please also note the general night-time parking ban for buses in Austria, according to which buses may not be parked closer than 25 metres to hotels, residential buildings, hospitals, health resorts and retirement homes between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
