Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

As of June 2026, the Imperial Treasury requires mandatory time-slot reservations for all visitors; pre-booking a digital ticket is essential to secure your entry and avoid the higher on-site 'box office' surcharge. For the best value, the combined ticket with the Kunsthistorisches Museum is highly recommended, as both world-class collections are managed by the same institution and located within a short walk of each other.

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Buying tickets at the venue's physical counter costs €18, representing a €2 surcharge compared to the official €16 online booking rate.
  • The Imperial Treasury is closed every Tuesday; ensure your travel plans account for this weekly closure.
  • Standard entry tickets do not include an audio guide; these are available at the rental desk for approximately €5 per person.
  • Visitors under 19 years old enjoy free admission and typically do not need a pre-booked ticket; they can present a valid photo ID at the entrance.
  • Large bags, backpacks, and umbrellas are prohibited inside the treasury rooms; lockers are available but may require a small coin deposit.
  • The 'Skip-the-line' designation only bypasses the ticket purchase queue; all visitors must still wait for the mandatory security screening at the Schweizerhof entrance.
  • Combination tickets (such as the 'Treasures of the Habsburgs') involve two separate locations; you will need to walk approximately 10 minutes between the Hofburg and the Kunsthistorisches Museum.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    To reach the Imperial Treasury, enter the Hofburg Palace complex and head to the 'In der Burg' courtyard. Locate the red-and-black Renaissance 'Swiss Gate' (Schweizertor) and pass through it into the Schweizerhof (Swiss Courtyard); the entrance is tucked in the corner under the Imperial Chapel. While pre-booked tickets bypass the ticket office queue, all visitors must undergo a security bag check. Large bags, backpacks, and umbrellas are prohibited in the galleries but can be stored in the cloakroom or self-service lockers. Note that the Treasury is closed on Tuesdays.

  • Price

    The official adult total is €16 online or €18 on site; reduced admission is €12 online or €14 on site, and children and young people under 19 enter free. From April 1, 2026, admission is tied to a reserved date and time, including on-site purchases subject to availability. The official site lists the Treasures of the Habsburgs combo at €32 and the Empress Elisabeth combo at €25. Compare the final checkout total, cancellation terms and inclusions across visible seller offers before paying. The museum is open Wednesday to Monday, 9:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m., and closed Tuesdays.

  • Discounts

    Children and young people under 19 are admitted free and do not need to book a ticket online; they are registered at the entrance when showing valid proof of eligibility. Reduced admission is listed for students aged 25 and under with valid student ID, pensioners aged 65 or over with valid ID, persons with reduced mobility and their companions, and unemployed visitors. Check the official eligibility requirements before booking. ([kaiserliche-schatzkammer.at](https://www.kaiserliche-schatzkammer.at/en/visit/visitors-information/faq/?utm_source=openai))

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a mobile ticket, and do I need a time slot for Imperial Treasury?

Yes, online tickets are sent by email and can be shown on your phone. Imperial Treasury requires admission during a reserved time slot, and the ticket is valid for one entry on the selected date and time.

Can I cancel or get a refund for my Imperial Treasury ticket?

Official time-slot tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded. Partner cancellation terms can differ, so read the final checkout conditions before paying.

Should I buy from the official seller or a partner?

Choose the official seller when you want the venue’s own booking flow and direct ticket terms. A partner may be useful when an official slot is unavailable or when a combo such as “Combo Ticket: Kunsthistorisches Museum & Imperial Treasury” fits your plans, but check the final price and inclusions.

Can I bring bags into Imperial Treasury, and will a ticket bypass security?

Outerwear, umbrellas and bags can be left at the free cloakroom, with lockers also available; luggage storage is not permitted in the cloakroom area. A ticket does not guarantee that you can skip any security or bag-check procedure, so allow time for entry controls.

What happens if I arrive late for my Imperial Treasury time slot?

Late entry is not guaranteed because the ticket grants one entry at the selected date and time. Contact the venue or seller as soon as possible if you expect to miss the slot; do not assume the ticket can be exchanged or refunded.

Do children and young visitors need a ticket for Imperial Treasury?

Children and young people under 19 are admitted free. The KHM visitor guidance says they do not need a separate online ticket, but because Imperial Treasury uses reserved entry times, confirm how free visitors are included in the accompanying booking.

What is the main bottleneck inside Imperial Treasury?

The main constraint is timed admission rather than a limit on how long you may stay: the venue states that entry is tied to the selected slot, while there is no time limit once you are inside. Reserve the time that best matches your Hofburg itinerary.
