Best Place to Exchange Money in Salzburg

Where to change money in Salzburg

Salzburg's tourist board lists one bureau de change, Interchange, close to the Hauptbahnhof. We could not confirm a counter in the Altstadt, so change pounds near the station before heading for the old town, or draw euros from a cash machine.

• Interchange, Kaiserschützenstraße 8 ↗Buys and sells foreign notes and handles Western Union and MoneyGram transfers. UK visitors, being from outside the EU, can also reclaim VAT on shopping here through Global Blue, Premier Tax Free or Tax Free Italia. The tourist board adds Saturday opening, 09:00 to 16:00, to the weekday hours, but Interchange's own page lists weekdays only, so phone +43 662 87 35 18 before a Saturday visit.
• Hypo Salzburg self-service area, Salzburg Airport ↗The bank's cash machine sits before security in Terminal 1, so arriving passengers can reach it. The airport lists the area as open daily from 04:00 to 23:00.

02On arrival

Changing money at the airport

Salzburg Airport lies about 4 km from the city centre. Its list of shops and services, checked on 2 October 2026, shows no bureau de change, only the Hypo self-service area and a tax refund information point, so plan on the cash machine or bring some euros. Terminal 2 handles the winter-Saturday charter peak. Trolleybus line 10 reaches the Altstadt in about 15 minutes and line 2 in about 23.

03Cash machines and cards

ATMs and cards in Salzburg

Interchange's cash machine near the station is listed by both the tourist board and Interchange as available around the clock, handy after a late train. The airport's Hypo machine is landside and keeps the self-service area's 04:00 to 23:00 hours. We found no official word on which cards Salzburg's ticket machines take, so carry a few coins.

04Getting around

Paying for transport in Salzburg

Since 1 October 2025 you can no longer buy a ticket on Salzburg's trolleybuses, and Salzburg Verkehr says its 1h ticket is not sold on buses, on trains or at tobacconists. Buy it from an SVV, Salzburg AG or ÖBB machine, online or in an app. From 1 January 2026 the adult fare is €2.60, for any number of rides in the core zone as long as the last ends within 60 minutes; stamp a paper ticket on your first journey.

05Local know-how

It covers city and regional buses, S-Bahn, regional and long-distance trains across the state, plus your public-transport journeys in and out. Arriving by train? Your host can email it beforehand.
