Not sure which ticket to choose?
For June 2026, travelers should choose the Vienna PASS for all-inclusive entry to 90+ sites or the Vienna City Card for unlimited public transport and minor discounts. Contrary to some reports, the official Vienna City Card continues to offer 24-hour, 48-hour, and 72-hour versions, alongside a newer 7-day duration, providing high flexibility for all stay lengths. The EasyCityPass remains a competitive alternative for those prioritizing transport savings.
Budget-conscious travelers focused on public transport
The EasyCityPass provides unlimited travel on the U-Bahn, trams, and buses at a low cost, with the added benefit of one child under 15 traveling free per adult.
Compare rows ↓Visitors wanting historical depth and local context
A guided walking tour covers the Ringstraße and hidden courtyards with expert narration, offering more cultural insight than a self-guided entry pass.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: For the Vienna PASS, activation occurs at the first attraction scanned; however, at high-demand sites like Schönbrunn Palace, you must still visit the 'Group & Pass' counter or a terminal to secure a timed-entry slot, as the pass alone is not a reservation. The Vienna City Card (transport-focused) requires physical validation at blue station machines before your first journey unless using a pre-validated digital version. Across all card types, 'skip-the-line' privileges only bypass the ticket-office queue; mandatory security screenings at the Hofburg, Belvedere, and Kunsthistorisches Museum remain unavoidable, with wait times often exceeding 30 minutes during the June peak season. For the fastest start, activate your pass at a less-crowded museum like the Albertina before heading to the major palaces.
- Price: Official rates for June 2026 start at €17.00 for the 24h Vienna City Card (transport + discounts) and €95.00 for the 1-day Vienna PASS (all-inclusive). Multi-day options are available for both, including 48h, 72h, and 7-day transport cards. Partner prices from sellers like Tiqets (approx. €109 for the PASS) or GetYourGuide may be higher as they often include added flexibility like 24-hour cancellation or different bundled durations; always compare the final checkout total against official benchmarks.
- Discounts: Children under 6 travel free on public transport and enter most museums for free. Crucially, all visitors under 19 receive free admission to Austrian Federal Museums (including the Albertina, Belvedere, KHM, and NHM) and city-owned sites like the Wien Museum; for this age group, a sightseeing pass is rarely cost-effective. The Vienna City Card allows one child under 15 to travel free per adult cardholder on public transport. For the Vienna PASS, youth aged 6–18 require a discounted 'Junior' pass for sites not covered by the under-19 free rule.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my Vienna City Card or Vienna PASS?
No, both are primarily digital. You can display the QR code on your smartphone for scanning at museum entrances or on public transport, though keeping a PDF backup is recommended for offline access.
Does the Vienna PASS include public transport like the U-Bahn and trams?
The standard Vienna PASS focuses on entry to 90+ attractions and the Hop-on Hop-off bus; it does not include the city's Wiener Linien transport network unless you specifically select a version that includes a travel add-on.
Do I still need to book time slots for major sights like Schönbrunn Palace?
Yes, even with an all-inclusive pass, high-demand venues like Schönbrunn Palace and the Upper Belvedere often require you to reserve a specific entry time slot online or at the ticket desk to guarantee entry.
What is the main difference between the Vienna City Card and the Vienna PASS?
The Vienna City Card is a transport-first pass offering small discounts (usually 10-20%) at sights, while the Vienna PASS is an entry-first pass that covers the full cost of admission for major museums and palaces.
Can I cancel my pass if my travel plans change?
Official passes are generally non-refundable once issued. However, booking through partners like GetYourGuide or Tiqets often allows for 24-hour free cancellation, providing more flexibility for June 2026 travel.
How is the validity period of the card calculated?
Validity typically begins at the moment of first activation (scanning at a sight or on a bus), not the date of purchase. Once activated, the card remains valid for the consecutive number of hours or days purchased.
Are there free options for children and students?
The Vienna City Card allows one child under 15 to travel free on public transport per adult cardholder. For the Vienna PASS, children aged 6–18 require a discounted 'Junior' pass, as most Vienna museums charge entry for those over 6.
