Hello,
We will be without a car and coming in by train, visiting Salzburg the summer of 2026 for either 2 or 3 nights. I am starting to plan our trip so that I can make reservations early and get a room that works for our family, plus be able to stay within a budget. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We are looking for a quad/ family room or two doubles in an inn/ guesthouse/ pension with breakfast included. I speak German and true to Rick Steves philosophy, love the idea of immersing into the culture. We have 2 children aged 11 and 14 plus my husband and I. We would like to stay in the old town area or very close so that we can easily walk to that part of Salzburg. We can take a taxi from the train station if necessary to our inn, so not to worry about that.
We are trying to be budget conscious and looking to spend around $250 a night or less. Our plans are to do the SOM tour (bike or bus not sure), check out Mozart's home, the castle, and maybe get to the abby bear garden if possible. Also, perhaps take the bus to the swimming pool outside of town.
I saw Bloburger Hof looked lovely, and this could be a consideration outside of town in the countryside as the bus into town stops right out front so it seems, so this is on the list, but would really like to focus on in-town bed and breakfast places! Also, if there is a Rick Steves discount, that is plus! I have the RS book but looking for personal recommendations.
