Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Salzburg

12 stays · 9 aparthotels and 3 serviced apartments

Aparthotels and serviced apartments suit Salzburg because a visit here often combines a few days of sightseeing with a festival trip, a ski or lake excursion or a business stay. A kitchen and a separate living area are handy for families and for stays of a week or more, particularly in a city where a lot of the appeal is simply walking between squares, churches and the river.

Where to stay in Salzburg

Altstadt (Old Town)

  • first-time visitors
  • sightseeing
  • festival stays

The Altstadt is the UNESCO-listed historic centre, and Wikivoyage describes it as the area with the baroque architecture, narrow streets and main attractions beside the Salzach. Wikivoyage also names Getreidegasse as a long, narrow street running parallel to the river with plenty of shops. It is the natural base if you want to walk everywhere.

Neustadt and Hauptbahnhof

  • train travel
  • business travel
  • short stays

Wikivoyage places the Hauptbahnhof north of the Salzach in the Neustadt, the newer part of the city. Wikipedia says the station has nine through platforms and two terminating platforms and underground shopping, and that it connects to city trolleybuses and buses and to the S-Bahn. A stay here is practical for rail arrivals and for day trips by train, and Airport bus line 2 runs to the station according to the airport.

Nonntal

  • quiet stays
  • walking into the Old Town
  • couples

Wikipedia lists Nonntal among Salzburg's 24 urban districts. On the map it lies just south of the Altstadt, which makes it an option for visitors who want a calmer address while keeping the historic centre within walking distance.

Maxglan

  • airport access
  • families
  • longer stays

Maxglan is another of the districts Wikipedia lists for Salzburg and lies on the western side of the city, in the direction of the airport. The airport says buses 2 and 10 link the airport with the city centre and main station, so this side of town can be convenient for early flights.

Parsch

  • quiet stays
  • families
  • cycling

Parsch is a district on the eastern side of Salzburg and one of those named in Wikipedia's list. It suits visitors who prefer a quieter residential address and are happy to use the city bus network or a bicycle. Wikivoyage says Salzburg has over 100 km of bike paths, which makes cycling a realistic way to reach the centre from here.

Getting around Salzburg

Salzburg W. A. Mozart Airport is linked to the city by public buses. The airport says line 2 runs daily every 15 or 20 minutes between the main station and the airport, with a journey time of about 23 minutes, while line 10 operates Monday to Saturday every 15 minutes to the city centre in roughly 15 minutes. Wikivoyage adds that the airport is about 20 minutes from the centre.

By train, Wikivoyage says the journey from Munich takes about an hour and a half on the fastest services, and that inter-city trains to Vienna run almost hourly, with ÖBB Nightjet services from Belgium, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. The same page says the Flixbus stop is at Salzburg Süd, not near the main station. Within the city, Wikivoyage says the best way to get around is on foot, and the StadtBus city bus network and bicycles cover the rest.

The tourism board says visitors receive a Guest Mobility Ticket with complimentary use of public transport during their stay, and the airport says the Salzburg Card gives free entrance to most tourist attractions and free public transport in the city for 3 days.

Living in Salzburg for longer

For a longer stay, choose the district by how you will move around. The Old Town is compact and walkable, while districts such as Maxglan, Lehen and Parsch lie further out, where the city buses or a bicycle are the practical options.

Salzburg is also a convenient hub for rail travel. Wikipedia says the Hauptbahnhof handles ICE, IC and Railjet services as well as three S-Bahn lines (S1, S2 and S3) serving surrounding towns, so a longer stay can include day trips without a car.

When to visit Salzburg

Wikipedia gives a mean daily temperature of 0.0 degrees Celsius for January and 19.6 degrees for July, with annual precipitation of about 1,195 mm and noticeably more rain in summer.

The Salzburg Festival is the main event for accommodation demand. The festival's own site says it has a Whitsun programme in May and a summer programme running through July and August, covering opera, drama and concerts. The tourism board also features Advent and Silent Night celebrations, and Wikipedia says Christmas markets are held on Residenzplatz; Wikivoyage describes the Christmas market as running from the end of November until Christmas.

Wikipedia describes Salzburg as a city on the Salzach River near the border with Germany and at the foot of the Alps, and says it is the fourth-largest city in Austria. Its historic centre has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 and is described as one of the best-preserved city centres north of the Alps. Wikipedia also notes it is Mozart's birthplace and a filming location for The Sound of Music. For the wider country, see Austria.
