Transportation

by plane

Reaching Salzburg by plane is easy - there are flights from all major (and even some smaller) cities in Europe to the Salzburg Airport W.A. Mozart. The BSP location is only a 2.2km walk or taxi drive away from the airport terminal. The #10 bus (2.00 EUR from the machines or 2.50 EUR on the bus) will take you very close to the venue if you have heavy bags, etc.

In case flying to Salzburg is not an option you could fly to/from Munich Airport. From there you'll need about 3 hours by train via Salzburg HBF and bus to reach the BSP location.

by car

Reaching Salzburg and especially the BSP location by car is easy http://maps.google.at/maps?daddr=Karolingerstr.+36a,+Salzburg. The motorway from the German boarder to Salzburg Nord (north) is toll free! Exit Flughafen is close to conova.

by train

If you want to come to Salzburg by train your destination is Salzburg Main Station (Salzburg HBF). From there you either take a taxi (about 10-15 minutes, probably 10-20 EUR) or the local bus (timetable), about 20 minutes, 2.50 EUR if you buy the ticket in the bus or 2.00 EUR if you buy from the machines).

by bus

• Coming to Salzburg: Various coach services will bring you to Salzburg. If you live in the South and/or East of Austria, eurolines might be interesting for you. For travelling within Austria (and close to the border, for example to Bad Reichenhall) you could use the PostBus.

• Travelling within Salzburg: timetable will have all the timetables for you. The bus stop next to the conova building is called 'Pressezentrum/Kugelhof'.

Accommodation

There are always lots of tourists in Salzburg, so you might want to book early! There are various small towns and villages around Salzburg which might offer cheaper and not so crowded accommodations, don't hesitate to ask bzed@debian.org (bzed on OFTC and freenode) for details.

Travel reimbursement / sponsored accomodation

If you need travel reimbursement to come to the Debian BSP in Salzburg please read and follow the Travel reimbursement for BSPs announcement from our Debian project leader. Also don't hesitate to talk to me if you need sponsored accomodation additional to the travel reimbursement. Please note that we have the same conditions for sponsored accomodation as described in the mail linked above.
