Passport to fun
T
he first thing everyone should buy on arrival in SalzburgerLand is this incredibly useful and excellent-value piece of plastic. The SalzburgerLand Card gives you free admission to nearly 200 sights and attractions, free use of key public transport including mountain lifts, and great discounts and deals on a stack of other great days out. The card, which can be bought at most tourist offices, numerous hotels and on the Web, covers the whole region and is valid for either 12, six or – new from 2012 – three days at a time. Included in the price is a one-day City card that allows you free access to all the major attractions in Salzburg plus free transport and other great discounts. The 12-day card cost €55 (€27.50 for children aged six to
15), the six-day €46 (€23 for children). The three-day pass costs €38 (€18 for children). What makes this an even better deal for families is that the card for the third child, and all additional cards, are free! The Hohe Tauern Card is a useful version if you are not going to explore the city of Salzburg during your holiday, because instead of a 24-hour Salzburg City pass you get free access to the jaw-dropping Grossglockner Road (see page 35) for one day. The toll for access to this high Alpine road is normally €29 per car and the experience is not to be missed – a winding, 48km marvel through some of the most stunning scenery in the world. ■ For a full list of all the attractions covered, go to www.salzburgerlandcard.com SalzburgerLand | 37
