Salzburg Old Town: book the coach terminal handovers
Salzburg’s official coach-booking guidance requires a slot when using the Nonntal or Paris-Lodron terminal to set down or collect Old Town visitors. Treat the two movements as appointments in the programme. Send the guide meeting point, visit length and preferred return time before the operator checks terminal availability.
The city distinguishes terminal use from direct journeys to other accessible destinations such as hotels or schools, while inner-city coach restrictions still apply. Ask the hotel and operator to check the actual address rather than assuming an airport transfer and an Old Town sightseeing visit follow the same access process. Have applicable terminal and waiting costs stated in the quotation.
The walk to Hohensalzburg belongs in the timetable
The fortress’s group-planning guide describes the walk from Nonntal to the fortress funicular and makes clear that the coach terminals are for boarding and alighting, with vehicles leaving afterwards. Allow time for that walking handover, group assembly and the booked attraction arrangements rather than scheduling the coach arrival at the visit start time.
For school groups or passengers with walking limitations, discuss the route and assistance requirements before selecting the terminal. Agree where the coach waits during the visit and who contacts the driver for collection. If the tour continues beyond Salzburg, include the next hotel and all luggage movements in the same Austria itinerary so the return terminal slot fits the full day.

Prepare your Salzburg journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Salzburg Airport (SZG) or Linz-Hörsching Airport (LNZ), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Salzburg hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- An airport arrival with several stops: If your flight is booked at Linz-Hörsching Airport (LNZ), use Wels arrival planning and Steyr arrival planning for the separate hotel or venue addresses. Say whether the enquiry covers one continuous itinerary or individual local transfers, with passengers and bags for each leg.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.
Other stops to consider

Planning your Salzburg journey
How do SZG and LNZ compare for a Salzburg transfer?
Salzburg Airport (SZG) is about 3 km from the Salzburg map reference in a straight line; Linz-Hörsching Airport (LNZ) is about 98 km. These figures are not road distances. Base the enquiry on the booked flight and actual destination address; road access and collection arrangements are checked separately.
Can one enquiry cover groups landing at different airports near Salzburg?
List each airport, flight number, arrival time and passenger count separately. If one group lands at SZG and another at LNZ, say whether they need separate vehicles or whether you want a combined itinerary assessed. Do not assume a single vehicle can meet both schedules.
What happens if the destination after landing is Wels?
Use Wels as the actual destination rather than entering only Salzburg as the wider area. Add the hotel or venue address and luggage count so the quote covers the requested end point.
How do the Wels and Steyr stops compare from Salzburg?
From the Salzburg geographic reference, Wels is approximately 84.2 km away in a straight line and Steyr is 106.1 km away. A further destination reference is Linz, approximately 108.2 km from Salzburg. The more distant stop needs to be treated as a separate stage of the itinerary, including any connections or overnight plans. These are map measurements, not driving distances; a feasible route and vehicle allocation must be assessed in the quotation.
Do we need a slot for coach collection after visiting Salzburg Old Town?
Yes, when using Nonntal or Paris-Lodron, the official system requires booked terminal slots for the passenger handovers. Ask the operator to check availability and align collection with the walking tour’s finish.
