From Hallstatt by Train:
Most travelers leaving Hallstatt are going to Salzburg or Vienna.
In either case, you need to catch the shuttle boat (€2.40, departs 15 minutes before every
train) to the little Hallstatt train station across the lake, and then ride 1.5 hours to
Attnang-
Puchheim
(hourly from about 7:00 to 18:00). Trains are synchronized, so after a short wait
in Attnang-Puchheim, you'll catch your onward connection to
Salzburg
(50 minutes) or
Vi-
enna
(2.5 hours). The Hallstatt station has no staff or ticket machines, but you can buy tick-
ets from the conductor without a penalty. In town, your hotel or the TI can help you find
schedule information, or check
www.oebb.at
. Train info: tel. 051-717 (to get an operator,
dial 2, then 2).
By Bus to Salzburg:
The bus ride from Hallstatt to Salzburg is cheaper and more scenic
than the train, and only slightly slower. You can still start off from Hallstatt by rail, taking
the boat across the lake to the station and then the train toward Attnang- Puchheim—but get
offafter about 20minutes in
Bad Ischl,
where youcatch bus#150to Salzburg(€8.80,Mon-
Fri almost hourly, less Sat-Sun).
Alternatively, you can reach Bad Ischl by bus from the Hallstatt bus stop (€4.20, change
in Gosaumühle) and then catch bus #150 to Salzburg. The Hallstatt TI has a schedule. In
Salzburg, bus #150 stops at Hofwirt and Mirabellplatz (convenient to Linzergasse hotels)
before ending at the Salzburg train station.
