GETTING THERE AND AWAY

Getting to Austria

Most people will fly to either Salzburg (75 minutes from Zell) or Innsbruck (90 minutes from Zell) airports. Many airlines fly there, but the real bargains from the UK are with RyanAir.

Approximate driving times to Zell are as follows: London – 12 hours, München (Munich Airport) – 4 hours, Düsseldorf – 8 hours.

From Salzburg airport to Zell

By bus: You may be able to catch the Vorderegger bus directly to Zell (the bus station is around 5 minutes’ walk from the apartment but often the bus driver will be happy to drop you at the corner). The return journey costs around €30 per adult and €15 for children. There is also a regular bus service several times a day, which may be quicker than taking the train if the times are suitable.

By car: You can rent a car to drive to Zell – they can be quite cheap if you book in advance. A small car costs from €29 per day. However, you won’t really need a car in Zell as you are located very centrally and connections to everywhere are very good. Also, you can rent a car for the day in Zell from around €50 per day!

By train: You will need to get a bus from the airport to the main train station and then a train to Zell from there. The total journey will take around 2½ hours. More info at www.oebb.at.

Directions:
Take the street downhill to the left of McDonalds - on your right is a hotel and alongside is a narrow lane which leads to the museum tower.

As you reach the tower which is situated in a small square (in which the museum entrance is located), the apartment entrance is to your left in the bottom left corner next to Crystal/Thompsons office. This is located in the pedestrian zone and you will not be able to take a car to the front door though there is vehicle access to the end of the lane (less than a minute walk away).
