Preparations Underway for the Outdoor Swimming Season in Salzburg

Summertime swimming activities take a step forward in Salzburg as preparations for the open-air swimming season commence.

As the outdoor swimming season in Salzburg approaches, residents and visitors are eager to know about the opening dates and any changes for the city's public pools. Here's what we know so far.

Two popular outdoor pools, Volksgartenbad and Leopoldskroner Bad, are set to reopen on May 9. However, no specific details about any changes or renovations at Volksgartenbad have been provided. In contrast, Leopoldskroner Bad has undergone some renovations, with the diving tower and floor tiles receiving an update.

For those planning a visit to Leopoldskroner Bad, it's important to note that the daily entrance fee for adults has increased from 5 euros to 6 euros. The price for a season ticket, on the other hand, has seen a significant hike, rising from 85 to 102 euros this year.

The outdoor pool at Aya-Bad is also scheduled to reopen after Easter, but no specific details about any changes or renovations have been shared.

In Salzburg, municipal operations, led by Roland Oberhauser, are facing cost pressure, with increased energy and personnel costs. As a result, the daily entrance fee for children at the city's outdoor pools has increased from 3 euros to 3.60 euros this year.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information about opening dates, pricing changes, and any renovations or changes at the individual outdoor pool facilities, it is recommended to check directly with the Salzburg city tourism websites or the respective outdoor pool facilities, such as Freibad Leopoldskron or Freibad Itzling.

While some tourist spots in Salzburg like Wasserspiele Hellbrunn are open, they relate more to water features and gardens rather than swimming pools, and no pool opening dates or price updates are provided. Similarly, hotels with outdoor pools in Austria do not specify opening season dates or pricing information particular to Salzburg city pools for 2025.

DAS Edeleweiss Family Spa Hotel near Salzburg features an outdoor sports pool and water slide park, but no specific opening dates or pricing changes for 2025 are mentioned. It operates with set daily opening hours for some facilities.

In conclusion, while some changes and renovations have been announced for Salzburg's outdoor pools, the most accurate and up-to-date information can be found by checking directly with the city tourism websites or the individual outdoor pool facilities. Enjoy your summer swim!
