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.

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 entry for June 2026 is €16 for online bookings (€18 on-site), with free admission for those under 19. Partner prices may be higher due to booking fees or the inclusion of the Kunsthistorisches Museum combo (typically €32). No time-slot reservation is required for the Treasury; tickets are generally valid for a single entry during opening hours. Note that the museum is closed on 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

Do I need to print my Imperial Treasury tickets or are mobile vouchers accepted?

Digital tickets on smartphones are fully accepted at the entrance. Ensure your screen brightness is turned up for the scanners at the Schweizerhof entrance to avoid delays.

Can I cancel or reschedule my visit if my plans change?

Official tickets are generally non-refundable and date-specific. If you require flexibility, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide often allows for 24-hour cancellation or rescheduling, though you should verify the specific 'Cancellation Policy' on their checkout page.

Does a 'skip-the-line' ticket bypass the security check?

No. While these tickets allow you to bypass the physical ticket office queue, all visitors must still clear the mandatory security screening. In June, expect a 5–15 minute wait at the security bottleneck during midday peaks.

How do free-entry rules work for children and youth?

Visitors under the age of 19 enter the Imperial Treasury for free. Unlike some other major European museums, they typically do not need to reserve a free ticket online; simply present a valid photo ID at the entrance or ticket desk to receive an entry voucher.

Are there lockers for bags and umbrellas at the Hofburg?

Yes, large bags, backpacks, and umbrellas are prohibited inside the Treasury. Self-service lockers are available in the cloakroom area; you will need a small coin (usually €1 or €2) as a deposit to use them.

Is the Imperial Treasury included in the Vienna PASS?

Yes, the Vienna PASS includes one-time free entry to the Treasury. You can head directly to the entrance scanners with your pass, bypassing the main ticket window entirely.

What is the best time to visit to avoid the largest crowds?

The Treasury is most crowded between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM when tour groups are most active. Arriving right at opening (9:00 AM) or after 4:00 PM provides a much quieter experience for viewing the Crown Jewels.

Should I buy the combo ticket with the Kunsthistorisches Museum?

If you plan to visit both the Treasury and the main Art History Museum (KHM), the combo ticket is significantly cheaper than buying two individual entries. Note that you do not have to visit both museums on the same day; they are usually valid for one visit to each site within a set timeframe.
