## Overview

## Welcome

Salzburg Airport (SZG) redefines the typical small airport experience, blending its compact size with a local flavor that's hard to match. Nestled just 3.1 km west-south-west of Salzburg's city center, it serves as a convenient Alpine gateway. For many, the standout feature at SZG is its vibrant dining and terrace culture; you can savor local dishes at Das Wolfgang, open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., without passing through security.

## At a glance

With just 1.7 million passengers annually, Salzburg Airport might not compete in size with Europe's mega-hubs, but it shines in its own right. It operates two terminals, T1 and T2, and is a stop for carriers like Eurowings and Ryanair, with charter and seasonal flights departing from T2. Services include a limited but curated selection of 13 eateries and a couple of shops — namely RELAY and a duty-free outlet, both located in T1.

## Terminals & layout

Terminal 1 (T1) is the heart of the airport, hosting major airlines and equipped with most dining and shopping options. Eurowings, Lufthansa, and Ryanair are primary occupants here. Meanwhile, Terminal 2 (T2), also known as Amadeus terminal, caters predominantly to charter and seasonal flights. The terminal setup is straightforward, making navigation a breeze and minimizing travel stress.

## Getting to and from the city

Located a mere 2 miles from the city's center, Salzburg Airport offers easy access to the surrounding area. Whether you're hopping into a taxi or driving a rental, you'll be in town in mere minutes. The airport does not feature its own transport services, so arranging local ground transportation in advance may be worthwhile for a smooth journey.

## Traveller essentials

Salzburg Airport offers several practical services despite its modest size. Travelers can store luggage at a kiosk in the arrivals hall, with fees set at €8 per day, increasing to €10 for skis — perfect for some sightseeing without the extra load. Free Wi-Fi is available across the airport under the Freewave network, making it possible to browse or work while waiting for your flight.

## Dining & shopping highlights

While small, the airport boasts several quality dining spots. Das Wolfgang, situated on the observation deck, doubles as more than just an eatery; it’s a lounge with music events, making it a unique dining destination. For on-the-go options, Marktcafé in T1 airsides provides coffee and light bites, opening two hours before the first departure. The dining options are complemented by very limited shopping, with RELAY and a duty-free store fulfilling most traveler needs.

## Lounges

Salzburg Airport lacks traditional airline lounges, which encourages passengers to explore its public spaces, such as the observation terrace on T1. This area is a hidden gem offering a panoramic view of the runway, accessible even to non-flyers, adding a touch of leisure to the traveling experience.
