Herrenau district

Hi Lorraine,

You are near to Europark, but that is a huge shopping complex and not much else around. 

The rents are high in Salzburg, it is nauseatingly expensive, more expensive than Vienna!  I have found my new home, on the Moosstrasse, which is not cheap, but what I will save in travel costs, will make me about even Stevens. 

The bus services are excellent and once you find your feet, you could perhaps take your bike on the bus.  I'm not sure how far you are out of town, (after three years, I know, my work, where the bank is and where to get a decent glass of wine and where the post office is and Getreidegasse) 

But the buses are great, I would enjoy mooching about the place and finding a route that is good for you.

Salzburg is the most expensive city to live in Austria.  You won't be far from much.  Salzburg isn't a huge city...pretty small actually. 

As for travel..you are close to the German border and the views in that area are spectacular..you aren't a far drive from skiing either. 

I think you'll like it 8-)

We took the flat and we love it. You're quite right: Salzburg is very compact. We can bicycle to the centre in 20 minutes. Bus takes about the same time.

it is expensive indeed....
