Accommodation in Salzburg

The University of Salzburg does not own any student residence halls and has no special agreements with accommodation providers. The International Relations Office can only help you in finding accommodation by providing the following information. We recommend exchange students to start looking for housing very early as finding a suitable place to stay can take plenty of time. Note: The University cannot be held responsible for any problems arising from the below mentioned suggestions.

Be careful not to fall victim to rental fraud with private landlords when making down payments.

DON’T trust this offer! This IS SCAM!!! Unfortunately, several cases of fraud have already been reported!!!

Other student halls of residence

Alternatively, students apply for rooms directly at one of the many student dormitories in Salzburg.

A list of all student halls of residence in Salzburg can be found here.

Shared or private apartments

Students who opt for private or shared apartments check the Austrian Student Union’s website for apartment advertisements, the local newspapers and other platforms WG-Gesucht.de. Note: “WG” or “Wohngemeinschaft” means shared apartment.
Students can look for a place to stay as well in Salzburg’s surrounding area (approx. 10 km). This option may facilitate the search process.

Temporary or short-term accommodation

Note for exchange students: If you don’t find suitable accommodation by means of the above mentioned services, you can of course come to Salzburg and stay in a youth hostel for the first few days. You are likely to find a room in a shared appartment on the spot upon arrival. Although it might seem to be a risky method of searching for accommodation that late, most students finally succeed in finding a suitable place.

Youth Hostels

If you need temporary housing prior to moving into your confimed accommodation, the local youth hostels are an inexpensive alternative to hotels.
