Important Questions
Here are the answers
Who is the Vienna Pass worth it for?
The card is financially worthwhile for museum enthusiasts who want to visit the included attractions such as the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the Belvedere, Schönbrunn Palace or the Giant Ferris Wheel. The more you visit, the more worthwhile the pass becomes – this way you can effectively “recoup” the relatively high cost of the card.
Counter-question: Who is the card not worth it for?
Those who aren’t keen on museums won’t save much. If you don’t make the most of what’s on offer, you’ll essentially end up paying more than necessary. Anyone who knows their children aren’t particularly quick when sightseeing, or have no interest in museums at all, should think twice as well.

Guidebook
How does the
Vienna Pass work?
Collection:
If you purchase the pass online, you will still need to collect it in person in order to receive the stylish card and feel like a VIP.
You can do this at the Vienna Sightseeing & Vienna PASS Service Centre (Opernring 3-5, Top 17-24; Opening hours: Monday – Sunday: 9.00 – 18.00 h).
But there is also the Smartphone-Option!
Activation:
The pass is activated at the first attraction you visit or when you first use the hop-on hop-off bus, and is then valid for the selected number of days.
IMPORTANT: Activate the card as early in the day as possible. If you only activate it in the afternoon, that day will already count as a full day.
Price Comparison
Is the Vienna Pass worth it?
The slogan says: Save from the 4th attraction onwards
But is that really true? Let’s do the maths!
Example scenario: We buy a Vienna Pass for 2 days (EUR 134).
In a day, you can comfortably visit 2–3 museums/attractions. Let’s assume 6 attractions in total so that it’s truly worthwhile.
Standard prices for adults:
Hop-on hop-off bus (48 hours): EUR 53
Schönbrunn Palace: EUR 28
Schönbrunn Zoo: EUR 29
Kunsthistorisches Museum: EUR 24
Upper Belvedere: EUR 19.50
Giant Ferris Wheel: EUR 14.50
Total: EUR 168
Savings: EUR 34!!!
And every additional attraction you manage to visit on top of that adds even more to your savings! Perhaps Madame Tussauds (EUR 23.80) or the Albertina (EUR 19.90)!
Conclusion
So it does seem to be true: you can save money with the ticket – but only if you genuinely want to see a lot. If you’re travelling with people who aren’t keen on museums or with children, it’s worth thinking carefully about whether the “effort” is really worthwhile.
Personally, if I were travelling on my own again, I would definitely make use of the pass!
