Yoho Salzburg

Salzburg


Free wi-fi, secure lockers, comfy bunks, plenty of cheap beer and good-value schnitzels – what more could a backpacker ask for? Except, perhaps, a merry singalong with The Sound of Music screened daily (yes, every day). The friendly crew can arrange tours, adventure sports such as rafting and canyoning, and bike hire (€10 per day).
