Privater Autotransfer von Munich Airport nach Salzburg

Some points of interest that you can discover are the tiny but not less beautiful town of Schliersee and the charming town of Rosenheim. For a unique experience, add the model train museum Hans-Peter Porsche to your itinerary. Dive deeper into the history by visiting the Eagle’s Nest, Hitler’s summer retreat which was gifted to him on his 50th birthday.

Renowned as the musical capital of Austria, Salzburg is also famous for its filming locations of the film ‘The Sound of Music’ (1965). If you have watched this classic and would love to visit the beautiful locations, you can either explore on your own or opt for a guided tour. Salzburg truly is the epicenter of classical music, as the Salzburg Festival, the world's largest classical music festival, is also held there. It runs for six weeks in July and August.

And while music forms a big part of Salzburg’s identity, there is so much more to see and explore: the impressive Baroque architecture, the UNESCO-listed Old Town, Austrian culture, and the hiking trails that unveil breathtaking views.

Purchase the day ticket

Although Salzburg is compact and therefore a relatively walkable city, using public transport can enhance your trip and save you time to explore more in less time. Make sure you get a 24-hour ticket to take public transport as many times a day as you need. If you purchase in advance, it costs just around $5 (€4.70), whereas if you purchase from the driver, it costs around $7 (€6.40).

From Munich Airport to Salzburg by train

A quicker and cheaper way to travel from Munich Airport to Salzburg is by taking a train. You will first have to take a S-Bahn train from Munich Airport to Munich Main Station (München Hbf), which takes around 40 minutes and costs approximately $12.50 (€11.50). Then you have to take either the regional (Meridian) or high-speed train (EuroCity or Railjet). The high-speed trains usually take just 1.5 hours to reach Salzburg, and the tickets cost around $43 (€40).

From Munich Airport to Salzburg by private car service

The most seamless way to travel from Munich Airport to Salzburg is by a private car service such as Daytrip. You will be greeted by an English-speaking local driver who will ensure that your trip is more than just a transfer from point A to point B.

For a more lighthearted sightseeing stop, check out the model trains at the Hans-Peter Porsche Museum. No trip is complete without visiting smaller towns along the way, so take a breath and stretch your legs as you stroll around Schliersee or Rosenheim.

From Munich Airport to Salzburg by taxi

You will always find taxis at airports. And while it might seem like a convenient way to reach Salzburg, you will be overcharged. Taxis prefer short trips, so expect Munich Airport to Salzburg to cost you several hundred euros. If you want to travel by car and a rental car might not be what you are looking for due to such factors as fuel costs and parking fees, then the next mode of transportation is for you.

Stroll through the Mirabell Gardens

Visiting the Mirabell Palace and Gardens is a must for every ‘The Sound of Music’ fan. But if you have not yet had the opportunity to take a guided tour or you haven’t seen the film, these gardens are worth visiting on your own. As it is one of the most famous places in Salzburg, it is suggested to visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy a peaceful walk without any hurry. There is no admission fee to enter the gardens and the public areas of the palace.

Go on a shopping spree at Getreidegasse

The Getreidegasse Street where Mozart was born is nowadays known as the main shopping center in the city. You will find different kinds of stores to purchase souvenirs, cafes offer a great spot for people-watching, and restaurants to sample local dishes

Explore the local gastronomy

Speaking of local dishes, here are a few that you cannot miss while in Salzburg:

• Tafelspitz: this boiled beef broth is actually a Viennese dish but can also be found on the menus at Salzburg’s restaurants.
• Salzburger Schnitzel: a veal cutlet stuffed with mushrooms, ham, and cheese.

Mozart’s chocolate: although you can find Mozart's chocolate in many places in Austria, its origins are in Salzburg. These chocolate-covered marzipan balls were invented here in 1890! It can be quite hard to find the original Mozartkugel—look for one of the four Fürst shops in Salzburg.
