Excursion to Hallstatt
Hallstatt is one of the most picturesque settings in Austria. The tiny town is wedged between the shores of a pristine alpine lake and dramatic mountains rising directly behind it. In addition to being blessed with an amazing setting, Hallstatt was made prosperous from nearby salt mines. The wealth from salt mining financed many impressive historic buildings as well, which now make the town even more picturesque.

Transfer to Airport
Salzburg has one main airport, Salzburg Airport, although many depart from nearby Munich Airport (see below). Your hotel can arrange a reliable taxi or if you have the app, Uber is also a good option. You can also arrange a private transfer. If you are picked up about 2.5 hours before your departure time, you should arrive at the airport with a little over two hours to spare, depending on traffic. If you are leaving during rush hour, you may want to budget an extra fifteen minutes. Keep in mind though that Salzburg Airport is a very small airport, so you may end up departing from Munich instead. The Munich airport has its own rail station, making it easy to take an approximately 2-hour train ride from Salzburg.
