Bus regulations – access/events

Special regulations apply to tour coaches wishing to access special events at the festival halls (Grosses Festspielhaus, Haus für Mozart, Felsenreitschule), at the University Great Hall as well as the Landestheater, Mozarteum and Marionette Theater.

For events at the GREAT FESTIVAL HALL, House for Mozart, and FELSENREITSCHULE, the following applies:

The access via Neutor into Hofstallgasse has been closed since September 14, 2026, due to construction work and is expected to remain inaccessible until the end of March 2027!

For tour buses with visitors to events in the festival area, the following applies during the total closure of Neutor:

Please primarily use the Bus Terminals Nonntal and Paris-Lodron
The access for boarding and alighting, one hour before to one hour after the event, is only possible with minibuses (max. vehicle height of 3.70 m) due to height restrictions at Klausentor and Münzgasse. Access in this case is via Staatsbrücke or Mülln. These trips are exempt from the city center bus driving ban. Moreover, the organizer must be contacted in advance.
No parking in Hofstallgasse: Due to the construction site, parking in Hofstallgasse is not possible. All buses with a maximum height of 3.70 m must immediately drive to a parking lot after disembarking the guests via the turning loop and can pick up their guests in Hofstallgasse right after the performance.
Due to construction work, disruptions should be expected!
