'''Salzburg''' is a medium-sized town in the center of [[Austria]], very close to the [[Germany|German]] border. It has direct motorway connections to [[Vienna]], [[Munich]] and [[Slovenia]] ([[Villach]]). Most of the traffic between southern [[Germany]] and [[Austria]], especially Germans going for holidays, to the [[Croatia]]n coast passes Salzburg.
== Hitchhiking out ==
These tips describe hitchhiking from the city centre. For hitchhiking from the airport, see [[Salzburg airport]]. === West towards [[Munich]], East towards [[Linz]], [[Vienna]], South towards [[Graz]] ===__TOC__
==== Option 1 ====
When you want to go over the [[A1 (Austria)|A1]], no matter which direction, you should go to the ramp ''Salzburg Mitte'' at the ''Münchener Bundesstrasse'' (B155). There is a lot of traffic and enough place to be seen and for cars to stop. From the town center it's 20–30 minutes walking, but you can also take the bus #4 to ''Schmiedingerstraße''.
Going in the direction of Munich, there's plenty of space directly on the ramp to the highway, just before the beginning of the tunnel.

==== Option 2 ====
Another good spot is a bus-stop [https://goo.gl/maps/BPyn8FdbMCU2 MAP] near the end of Bahnhofstrasse, where the Landstrasse crosses the Salzburger-Bundesstrasse, just before the small railroad tunnel. Walk north from the main railroad-station in the city center (10-15 minutes), then follow the Bahnhofstrasse until you arrive at the Landstrasse. This spot is especially good for direction East.
==== Option 3 ====
=== South towards [[Ljubljana]] ([[E55]]) ===
Take bus #3 to the terminus then walk south along ''Alpenstraße '' to the junction with the A10. To avoid walking back, you can also get off two stops before the terminus.
