How to get to Mondsee?

Mondsee is about 40km East of Salzburg where there is an international airport. From there you can go by City Bus ( “Line 2”, every 10 -20 min) to the main railway station (“Hauptbahnhof”) in front of which is the bus terminal ( “Postbus”), from where the busses to Mondsee go at least every hour ( on school days more frequently). The cost for public transportation from Salzburg airport to Mondsee is about 8€. Taxi fares from Salzburg airport to Mondsee are about 55€.

This information gives you the possibility of arranging your own public transportation. We will try to pick up participants by charter buses. For that we would need the date and time of your arrival and flight number. Salzburg Airport is not very large, so you will easily notice buses with an EIFAC sign. We will offer this service for the same price as the public buses: 8€ per person.

Participants travelling by train are also advised to take the postbus just outside Salzburg main railway station.

Participants travelling by car take the motorway A1, to the Mondsee exit.
