Salzburg is a city that you do not just "pass through", but experience – best without searching for parking, without traffic jams, and without compromises involving the car. Those who want to travel in an eco-friendly manner have a particularly easy option in Austria: the KlimaTicket Ö. It makes public mobility predictable and convenient – and it fits perfectly with a stay at the sustainable Hotel Salzburg, especially when bikes & public transport work together sensibly on-site. That’s why the Green Hotel zur Post has a special offer for guests who arrive by train (ideally with KlimaTicket Ö) or by bike: "Go Green by Train or Bike".

What is the KlimaTicket Ö – a brief and clear explanation

The KlimaTicket Ö is an annual ticket that allows you to use public transport in Austria for one year – including public and private rail transport, city transport, and transport associations (depending on the area of validity). Tourist services are excluded. Austria

Important: The KlimaTicket is available throughout Austria, but also as regional variants (including in Salzburg). Details about variants, discounts (e.g. up to 25 / from 65), and purchasing options can be found on official pages.

Why this is so convenient for a city trip: You can explore Salzburg (and beyond) flexibly with public transport – without having to organize tickets every time. And you will quickly realize: Public mobility is not a "Plan B" here, but often the more relaxing way to travel.

Traveling eco-friendly: Why the train fits so well into the city

The idea is simple: If the journey starts calmly, the entire stay feels different. No driving in traffic jams, no "Where do I park?" – instead, you arrive, get out, and go.

Your original page summarizes the goal well: Public transport is described as an eco-friendly alternative to motorized individual transport.
To make this point clear in communication, it’s worth emphasizing: Here, Salzburg is especially easy without a car. This is exactly where your offer comes into play.

Advantages at the Green Hotel zur Post: "Go Green by Train or Bike"

If you arrive as a holder of a KlimaTicket Ö (or come by bike), you can book the special offer "Go Green by Train or Bike" at the Green Hotel zur Post. It only applies if you arrive by train (preferably with KlimaTicket Ö) or by bike.

Included services according to the offer:

  • Room of your choice including a rich organic breakfast

  • 1 O-Bus ticket for the city of Salzburg

  • 1 bicycle for each day

  • 1 bottle of Vöslauer mineral water

  • 1 sweet treat

This is the crucial difference between "We are sustainable" and "We make it easy for you": The offer concretely rewards the decision for eco-friendly travel – with benefits that are actually used during vacation.

Salzburg without a car: How mobility becomes really comfortable on-site

A common objection is: "Public transport is good – but I want to be flexible on-site." This is exactly where public transport and bicycles complement each other ideally:

  • Public transport for quick city trips & bad weather

  • Bikes for "green detours", waterfront paths, parks, and spontaneous stops

And since you as a hotel already focus on sustainable mobility (including bike/e-bike offers and charging options), it fits thematically perfectly with electric mobility travel – without having to inflate it artificially: It’s simply part of your service.

Nightjet to Salzburg: Arrive overnight, start in the morning

If you want to make the journey to Salzburg particularly relaxed, you can also travel overnight: Nightjet is the ÖBB night train. Your page describes exactly this principle: board in the evening, travel overnight, arrive well-rested in the morning.

What can currently be communicated well and reliably about it:

  • Nightjet offers seat, couchette, or sleeper cars depending on comfort wishes.

  • In the couchette car, breakfast is typically included (according to Nightjet).

  • In the sleeper car, the focus is on maximum comfort (“hotel on rails”).

Tip for your page (as a sentence with link):
"Those who want to travel in an eco-friendly and comfortable manner will find in Nightjet a strong alternative to driving – with sleeper, couchette, or seat cars depending on budget and comfort." Nightjet

Why this fits perfectly with your profile

An article about KlimaTicket works best when it is not just "ticket customer", but shows: This is how the ticket fits into a vacation that is truly green.

Your connection is credible because sustainability in mobility does not end:

  • The common good economy folder describes a price reduction ("Green Discount") for arrivals with public transport, electric cars, or bicycles.

  • It also mentions the rental of bicycles/e-bikes and charging options for e-bikes.

This is exactly the kind of content that organically captures search queries such as "eco-friendly travel", "green vacation Austria", and "sustainable hotel Salzburg" – without advertising language.


If you want to experience Salzburg consciously, you don’t have to be perfect – but you can surprisingly easily utilize the big levers during vacation: train instead of car, public transport instead of searching for parking, bike instead of short-distance trips. With the KlimaTicket Ö, this becomes manageable. And with "Go Green by Train or Bike", it is even rewarded at the Green Hotel zur Post.

Book your "Go Green by Train or Bike" offer now and experience Salzburg in an eco-friendly, comfortable, and flexible way.
