Buses from the Salzburg Airport to the main train station are easy and cheap. Bus number 2 runs every 10 minutes (every 20 minutes on Sundays and public holidays.) It takes about 20 minutes. Adult tickets run €2; children's tickets cost €1. Buses run Monday through Thursday from 5:30 AM until 11 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from around 5:30 AM until 12:30 AM, and Sundays from 6:30 AM until 12:30 AM.
The Holiday Shuttle runs six times per day from the taxi stand outside the airport and takes passengers directly to their hotels for €37 (€69 round-trip).
Or, just as easy—and surprisingly cheap—a taxi from the airport should cost around €12 to get you to the city center.

Arriving by Train
Trains are the most efficient way of reaching the city from other European destinations. Salzburg is a main hub for trains running between Germany, Italy, and Switzerland; and has a good sized "Hauptbahnhof" (main train station). The Hauptbahnhof is an easy 25 minute walk to the Right Bank, and a short walk from many hotels.
Arriving by Bus
Most people arriving in Salzburg do so by air, train, or car. There aren't a lot of long-distance buses arriving in and departing from Salzburg. Buses are, however, a great way to take day trips to and from surrounding areas, and the city bus station is located right next to the train station.
