BSP in Salzburg, Austria - June 15-17 2012

Location, Date

Transportation

by plane

Reaching Salzburg by plane is easy - there are flights from all major (and even some smaller) cities in Europe to the Salzburg Airport W.A. Mozart. The BSP location is only a 2.2km walk or taxi drive away from the airport terminal.

In case flying to Salzburg is not an option you could fly to/from Munich Airport. From there you'll need about 3 hours by train via Salzburg HBF and bus to reach the BSP location.

by car

Reaching Salzburg and especially the BSP location by car is easy http://maps.google.at/maps?daddr=Karolingerstr.+36a,+Salzburg. If you come from Germany it is possible to reach the location without paying highway tolls by leaving the German A8 towards Bad Reichenhall and following the B20/B21 to Salzburg (use the 'Avoid tolls' option in Google Maps, for example).

by train

If you want to come to Salzburg by train your destination is Salzburg Main Station (Salzburg HBF). From there you either take a taxi (about 15-20 minutes, FIXME EUR) or the local bus (timetable, about 50 minutes, 2.10 EUR).

My personal recommendation would be to take one of the night trains which travel trough Salzburg.

Accommodation

There will be a lot of tourists in Salzburg in June, so you might want to book early! There are various small towns and villages around Salzburg which might offer cheaper and not so crowded accommodations, don't hesitate to ask bzed@debian.org (bzed on OFTC and freenode) for details. Below we have some recommendations for your stay in Salzburg:

With thanks to our DPL and Debian funds we are able to provide 8 beds in a youth hostel for those who can not afford to pay for a stay in Salzburg. Please contact bzed@debian.org in case you would like to use this offer.
