Driving Tips for Salzburg

If you rent a car in Salzburg, you’ll have access to everything this beautiful city has to offer. Keep the following in mind for an easy drive:

  • Parking: Parking in the city center can be challenging, as signage is unclear, and spots are limited. It’s best to park at a Park + Ride lot on the outskirts and take public transport into the city.
  • Road conditions: Salzburg is nestled in the mountains. The roads in the area are generally in good condition, but if you leave the city itself you will encounter many narrow and winding roads.
  • Toll roads: All of the highways in Austria are toll roads, but they are cashless and require a vignette, or a prepaid sticker on the windshield. Ask about our prepaid toll program for more information.
  • Speed limits: Within the city of Salzburg, you will need to drive at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), while outside the city the speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph).

Best places to visit in and around Salzburg

A rental car in Salzburg allows you to explore the city and the region at large at your own pace. Be sure not to miss these attractions while you’re in town:

  • Fortress Hohensalzburg: This medieval fortress sits atop Festungsberg mountain and is visible from the rest of the city below. You can explore the grounds of the fortress and visit the museum.
  • Mozart’s birthplace: The birthplace of this famous composer is located in the heart of the city at Getreidegasse 9 and now serves as a museum in his honor.
  • Day trip to the Eagle’s Nest: The Eagle’s Nest, Hitler’s former vacation spot, is just a 45-minute drive across the border into Germany. Here, you’ll find plenty of hiking and gorgeous scenery, as well as a restaurant and other attractions.

Explore these and many more things to do in Salzburg, and if you’re visiting during the holiday season, check out one of the best Christmas markets in Europe.

I really need to thank the staff, you just made my trip wonderful! I reserved a car but was rejected at the counter since the new policy that China Drivers License won’t work in car rental in Austria. The stuff was so helpful that he suggested a solution and made calls to Sixt branches in Germany to confirm that I can rent a car there. It worked. So I still got a car to travel in Austria and Germany. Thanks to the staff here.

Went there for exchanging a car picked up from Freilassing. The person at the branch was very helpful and willing to help us however possible. Unfortunately there were no cars that suited our needs but they called another nearby branch and helped us get a car.
