The City of Salzburg and the mountain region located directly to the south enjoy the benefits of a modern, high-capacity transportation infrastructure. Served by an international airport on the outskirts of the city, Salzburg and the 2014 venue clusters are served by an effectively integrated system of autobahns (A1 and A10), an extensive network of surface streets, and a thoroughly developed passenger rail system (including the regional S-Bahn, the new high speed mass transit system).

• Ease of access — 73% of venues are aligned along the high-capacity A-1 and A-10 autobahns; and 91% — all but one — have autobahn and/or rail access.
• The EU’s #1 international winter charter airport near the center of the city.
