Recommended Departure Time

The first departure of the Hallstatt Half-Day Tour from Salzburg starts as early as 7:00 AM. We particularly recommend this, as there are still few visitors in Hallstatt in the early morning hours. This allows you to take photos in peace and enjoy the special atmosphere. Additionally, you avoid long waiting times for entry to the Salt Mines. Nevertheless, later departures at 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM are also available, allowing you to remain flexible.

Easily Combinable & Alternatives

If you have more time, you can extend the excursion. For example, a full-day combination with St. Wolfgang and Hallstatt is an option. This way, you’ll experience not only Hallstatt but also the famous Lake Wolfgang. If you prefer to see several lakes, you can also book our Salzkammergut Lakes Tour. If, however, you only want the transfer, the Salzburg–Hallstatt Transfer is the right choice for your half-day tour.
