Salzburg Airport

Salzburg airport (code: IATA: SZG - code ICAO: LOWS) is the second most important airport in Austria. The airport acts as an essential source of work for the area and plays an important part in its economical growth and tourist industry. The name of the airport is dedicated to the local composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This gateway is localized only 4kilometres from the centre of Salzburg and 2kilometres from the border between Austria and Germany and is therefore a prime route for tourists. The airport is a gateway to the numerous skiing centres, including the famous Amade skiing region; the largest skiing network in Europe. Here, you can find a large number of Salzburg apartments, (APARTAMENTOS EN SALZBURGO).

The airport is joint property of the council of Salzburg city (25%) and the state of the region (75%) and in 2001 the airport was valued at an amazing 22.000.000euros.

With connections to and from the city via shuttle-bus number 2 (with services every 10 minutes), the airport is easily connected with Salzburg's public transport system. From the airport, the bus takes some 25minutes to arrive to the city's central station and a further 5 minutes to get to the centre itself. Once you arrive in the city, finding accommodation (ALOJAMIENTO SALZBURGO) can be something of a nightmare; it is therefore advisable to come prepared and have your apartment (APARTAMENTO SALZBURGO) already booked and waiting for you.

Salzburg's airport has excellent connections from the most important international airports; two terminals with the most up to date security technology support the airport in being one of the most Europeanized ports. The airport has a parking area which boasts a multi-story car-park that is connected to the main terminal building by a covered walkway. Unlike many airports, where getting a shuttle-bus from the car-park to the main terminal building is mandatory, each parking space at Salzburg airport is never further than a five minute walk away from the main terminal building. The parking coupons are available at the main gates of the airport.
