Traffic bollards
Automatic, rising bollards are installed at various locations in Salzburg's Old City to manage vehicular flow and calm traffic. Roads secured by bollards are not open to public traffic.
Poller activation at 11:00 a.m.
The bollards rise at 11:00 a.m. Drivers who enter the restricted zone prior to 11:00 a.m. will be unable to exit the inner city after 11:00 a.m. They must contact the police department on Rathausplatz, where an exit code will be provided upon payment of a fine.
Hotel access
Guests holding a hotel reservation are authorized to enter the restricted zone. The bollards at the access points in "Rathausplatz"," Mozartplatz", "Kaigasse" and "Linzer Gasse" are equipped with an intercom system to allow the driver to contact the hotel. The hotel will give the guest an entry code for once-only, limited entry and exit.
Important: each hotel can only be accessed via a specific access point. Please ask your hotel which access point you should use.
Barrier-free
Disabled parking spaces secured by bollards in the Old City - via the entrances: Hofstallgasse, Mozartplatz, Kajetanerplatz - can be accessed with the Euro-Key. Guests that do not have the Euro-Key are requested to use the disabled parking spaces on Makartplatz, in Franz Josef Strasse and in Münzgasse.
Recommendation:
Park your vehicle in the Mönchsberg Garage (near the Festival Hall), or in the garage under the Barmherzige Brüder Hospital (on Rudolfsplatz).
