Weather
Salzburg in March is a shoulder-season month: expect cool, changeable spring weather with daytime highs typically in the high single digits to low teens Celsius and cold mornings near or just above freezing. Rain and occasional late snow showers are possible, so bring a waterproof outer layer and sturdy shoes for walking between halls and the Messezentrum Salzburg grounds.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Austria uses EU mobile roaming, so visitors with EU SIMs can use their home data allowance. Salzburg has broad 4G/5G coverage in the city and around the Messezentrum; non-EU travellers should check roaming costs or buy a local prepaid SIM.

Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language at the fair
German is the local language. RENEXPO and INTERHYDRO materials are often bilingual German/English, but technical terms for hydropower (for example Laufwasser or Pumpspeicher) may appear in German. A translation app helps with plant terminology.
Venue district and Old Town
Messezentrum Salzburg sits in the Liefering district, roughly 4 km north of the historic Altstadt. Plan 20-30 minutes by local bus or taxi between the fairground and Old Town hotels, especially at peak times.
Business etiquette
Punctuality and formal address are standard in Austrian business meetings. Confirm appointments in advance during fair week, and allow time for a brief greeting before technical discussions.
Payment and currency
Austria uses the euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted at hotels and the venue, but carrying some cash is useful for small purchases such as coffee or local transit tickets.
March weather and dress
March in Salzburg is changeable, with cool mornings and a chance of rain or late snow. Bring a waterproof outer layer and sturdy shoes for walking between halls and outdoor parking areas.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Salzburg; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.
Austria is a Schengen member. EU/EEA nationals do not need a visa; many other nationalities can enter visa-free for short business trips, others need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa applied for before travel.
Estimated cost: EUR 90 Schengen short-stay visa fee for adults; reduced fees for children and some categories.
Processing: Typically decided within about 15 calendar days; applications can be lodged up to 6 months before travel.
Carry a RENEXPO invitation or exhibitor confirmation, travel insurance, accommodation proof and return ticket when applying.
