If you don’t have a car it’s also no problem! Although there is no direct public transport connection, the place is easily accessible by bus as well! From Salzburg Central Station, bus 150 goes to Strobl Bus Station, where you can take the number 456 directly to the city center. The one-way full price of this route is € 9.90.

One of the biggest advantages of the location is the diversity it can provide to the visitors. Whether you are a nature lover, culture enthusiast, or a person who just loves lying on the beach, this location will definitely have something to offer for your leisure.
