The Salzburg region (SalzburgerLand) is packed with activities, attractions, and truly charming nature, and you can spend many days there without exhausting the variety of attractions. Depending on where you base yourself, the travel distances between the various tourist areas can be quite significant, so it’s a good idea to plan your trip style in advance.
There are two common types of trips: a star trip or a nomadic trip. In a star trip, you choose one accommodation and take day trips to the wider area from there. A nomadic trip means that you move to a new accommodation almost every day or two. The type of trip depends on you and your family composition. A family with children might prefer a star trip with one central accommodation, while a couple might choose to move from place to place throughout the trip. Of course, there’s no black or white here, and you’ll have to decide what suits you. Some travelers are very spontaneous and don’t usually book accommodation in advance (this is definitely possible, but depends on the season and how particular you are).
As with any popular tourist area, the best accommodations are “snatched up” quickly, and if you find a perfect place to stay, it’s highly recommended to book it well in advance. If you find a place you like but aren’t sure about certain details, it’s a good idea to send an email (or a Facebook message if they have an active page), call the place directly, or get information from travelers through our Facebook group. After a brief inquiry, you’ll know if it’s the right choice for you or not.

What you should know before booking accommodation in SalzburgerLand:
- Proximity to highways is important. The easier the access to the highway, the less time you’ll waste in the mornings and evenings driving on Salzburg’s narrow, winding roads. However, it’s advisable to choose accommodation that isn’t right next to the highways, so you can truly enjoy the peace and quiet of this beautiful natural area. Of course, there are also options for slightly more remote places that offer peace and tranquility in the heart of wonderful natural areas. No matter what style you prefer – in SalzburgerLand you can find it all.
- Air conditioning is not a must. The Alpine region of SalzburgerLand doesn’t really require air conditioning, so most accommodations don’t offer air conditioning in the rooms. Even in summer when the days are warmer, temperatures drop in the evenings, so you don’t really need air conditioning in the room. If you happen to experience a heatwave, it usually breaks after a few days, and then rain falls, bringing the temperatures down.
- Outdated places will still be of good quality. The standard of hospitality in Austria is very high. Even older accommodations will be clean and well-maintained. You don’t have to book a modern and new place to be sure that your stay will be a good experience. In fact, a more rustic style of accommodation definitely adds to the travel experience.
