traffic information

Large sporting events such as the Mozart City Running Festival bring with them some restrictions in city traffic. On Wednesday, May 8 (StudiRun), on Thursday, May 9 (GipfelTreffen), on Friday evening, 10 May (Salzburg Women's Run) and Saturday afternoon, 11 May (Junior Marathon, Bunte Sportpalette and #OneMileForASmile - Inclusion Run by Coca-Cola) the event will not result in any significant restrictions for motorised traffic (maximum short waiting times at Giselakai and on Friday evening on the quiet roads along the banks of the Salzach between Karolinen Brücke and Wilhelm-Kaufmann-Steg).

During the Salzburg Women's Run, on May 10th from 7:15 p.m. to approximately 8:15 p.m., we ask cyclists on the cycle paths along the banks of the Salzach to show mutual consideration so that all sporty Salzburg residents can travel smoothly that evening.

On Sunday, May 12th, Salzburg's streets will belong to running enthusiasts from the city of Mozart, the state of Salzburg, the rest of Austria and around 85 nations worldwide. The Mozart City Running Festival will give the city the least traffic-intensive day of the year. We ask the people of Salzburg for their support and patience in case of any waiting times - the most important information is available below. Mutual consideration and following the instructions of the police and the route security staff are the prerequisites for a successful event. As soon as the last participants have passed a section of the route, the route will be immediately reopened to traffic.
