Museo bello e ben tenuto. Personale molto gentile. I biglietti ricevuti via mail erano errati, causa vs. errore interno, e la ragazza che ci ha accolto ha provveduto a fare il cambio immediatamente. Consiglio la visita. Soprattutto con i bambini.

I liked the wide range of attractions covered by the pass, including the fact that you can use the hop-on hop-off buses without restrictions. There were never any problems scanning the code. Unfortunately, "Time Travel" was not included. There is a slight deduction in the rating for the fact that - at least for me - downloading to the cell phone was cumbersome. I would have liked to have received a pass in card form at the info center. So I always had to hope that my cell phone battery wouldn't die in the meantime Unfortunately you had to pay an extra €9 in Schönbrunn to see all the rooms. But it was still worth it. The booklet accompanying the pass should definitely include the opening times of the attractions! The pass was helpful for me overall.
