Salzburg Hauptbahnhof

Salzburg Hauptbahnhof is the main railway hub serving the city and surrounding region with connections to major European routes. The complex features multiple platforms, ticket counters, waiting areas, and various shops within an accessible layout.

The station opened in 1860 as part of Austria's major railway expansion connecting inland cities. Over time it grew into a key transportation hub linking Salzburg to European networks and continuing to serve that role today.

The station building maintains protected monument status under Austrian law, representing architectural elements from the mid-nineteenth century railway construction period.

Digital displays throughout show departure times and platform numbers with live updates for all trains. The facility is equipped with stairs, ramps, and elevators to help all visitors navigate between levels and reach their platforms easily.

The station building received recognition as Austria's most beautiful railway station and stands as a well-cared-for example of 19th-century transport architecture. It connects directly to the Salzburg S-Bahn system, allowing travelers to easily switch between long-distance and regional trains.
