Buy the ticket
The Vienna City Card (often shortened to Vienna Card) is the only official tourist card of the city of Vienna. It allows free and unlimited use of public transport (metro, tram and bus), discounted admission to more than 200 attractions as well as discounts in bars, restaurants and shops. It is ideal for those who want to enjoy the Viennese capital without stress and at the same time save money.
Together with your card, you will receive a brochure with an up-to-date list of included attractions and all discounts, with which you can plan your itinerary day by day and keep your spending under control.
Vienna’s prices are in the average range of other European capitals, but unfortunately many of the most famous attractions have rather expensive entrance fees. If you plan to visit even just two or three of them, the cost of your holiday could rise considerably.
It would be a shame to miss out on the city’s splendid palaces or prestigious museums, which is why it is recommended to buy the Vienna Card, with which you can save money on entrance fees. Of course, the more attractions you visit, the more you save: you can save up to 100 euros in three days!
Another advantage of having the Vienna Card in your pocket during your holiday is that you can get on and off public transport as often as you like. You don’t have to decide in advance which and how many means of transport you will use to work out which ticket or season ticket to buy: with the Vienna Card you only open your wallet once and don’t think about it any more!
The classic Vienna Card exists in three versions: 24, 48 or 72 hours.
If you prefer sightseeing buses to public transport, choose the new Vienna Card with hop-on hop-off bus. This card includes all the discounts of the classic Vienna Card but replaces the use of public transport with a 24-hour ticket on the blue and red buses of the Big Bus Vienna company and a free guided walking tour.
The Vienna Card with hop on hop off bus also exists in 24, 48 or 72-hour versions, but regardless of which version you choose, the bus ticket is only valid for 24 hours.

Buy the ticket from 17,00 €As already mentioned, the Vienna City Card provides unlimited use of public transport, but for entrance to monuments and museums there is only a discount on the entrance fee.
You might find it useful to know that there is also the Vienna Pass, a card that includesfree entry to over 60 attractions, including Schönbrunn Palace, the Prater Ferris Wheel, the Spanish Riding School, the Albertina Museum and many others.
