Hotel , Area , General Advice please

Hi folks,

I%26#39;m going to Salzburg for 2 nights next month and was looking for a heads up on the city. We%26#39;re a couple staying in STAR INN HOTEL SALZBURG ZENTRUM.

Anyone reccomend how to get there from the train station / how far is it?

Also, we%26#39;re looking for an idea of prices in Salzburg - some people say it can be expensive - how much would I pay for a beer / reasonably nice meal? Are taxis expensive?

One last thing (as Columbo might say) we%26#39;re hoping to go on a Sound of Music tour (tack I knw, but hey.. I do what I%26#39;m told) Are there loads to choose from or can anyone reccomend a good one?

Thanks in advance

From the main railway station you can reach the hotel with trolleybus line number one (take the direction to city center), as soon as you have passed the tunnel through the mountain hop off the bus and you are in front of the hotel. Drive time apx. 15 minutes, by foot 40-45 minutes.

The hotel has a perfect location very close to the city center, good choice!

Yes, Salzburg is expensive, you should carefully look out where to buy your beer, in the city center usually it is more expensive ... but that%26#39;s the same as in Belfast I trust. Try the local Stiegl beer! A %26quot;Halbe%26quot; (= half liter) would cost you between EUR 2,50 and 4,-.

For Sound of Music I only can recommend the %26quot;Original Sound of Music Tour%26quot; by Panoramatours (www.panoramatours.com - online booking is easy!), which is also the top tour rated by Tripadvisor. They really did the bus services for the film crew in those days and they REALLY know everything...

Best regards

Wolfgang
