Travel Info
Getting to Salzburg
Our main wedding location Schloss Hellbrunn is only 10-15 min by car from the centre of Salzburg. So you need to get to Salzburg first.
Option 1: fly directly to Salzburg Airport.
- If you are arriving from London, there are very convenient direct flights with Ryanair. However, Salzburg is not very well connected with other international airports, so if you come from other cities you will most likely have to fly through Frankfurt to get there.
Option 2: fly to Munich, then either drive or take a train for ~1.5 hours.
- This is generally a very convenient option as there are hundreds of flights to Munich from all over the world. The drive or train ride are very pleasant as well. We often use this option ourselves.
Option 3: fly to Vienna, take a train or drive for ~3 hours.
- This is probably the slowest route, but may be well-suited to those who want to combine the wedding with visiting the capital of Austria. The train ride is very comfortable.
Option 4: drive or take the train from other places in Austria or Europe.
- If you live in Austria or nearby European countries, you will most likely already know your route. If you need any advice, please give us a call or email!
Renting a car
Whether you decide to rent a car or not really depends on your plans before and after the wedding.
If you are only coming for the wedding activities, you most probably don’t need a car as you can easily get around Salzburg by taxi. You can also enjoy the Salzburg city centre by foot.
However, if you decide to fly to Munich or Vienna, you may decide to rent a car anyway and enjoy your drive.
Finally, you are looking to see other places in the Salzburg region, such as beautiful lakes or villages, it is definitely more convenient if you rent a car.
Getting to the wedding activities
You can easily get to Schloss Hellbrunn by car or by taxi from any location in Salzburg. The drive only takes about 10-15 minutes from the centre of Salzburg. We recommend that you arrange your own transportation to get there and return to your hotel after the party.
Here is the list of taxi companies that we recommend for you to use:
Taxi company 1: +43 662 8111 (largest company)
Taxi company 2: +43 662 2220
Once you arrive to Schloss Hellbrunn, please make your way to the main building. You should plan to arrive between 3 and 3:15pm on Saturday. You will see the wedding party there, and will be shown to the place where the ceremony will take place. Please see the map below.
Where to stay
Salzburg has dozens of nice hotels. Below is our choice, for different budgets and tastes. As the wedding location is so close to the city (only 10-15min by car), we think that it is quite nice to stay centrally, and take a taxi to the Schloss for the wedding. This way you can also explore the city a bit. We and our families will also be staying in the centre.
However, if you would like, you can also stay very close to the Schloss, which is just outside Salzburg. It is quite peaceful and you will have an added benefit of walking to the wedding.
