What is the difference between the Vienna Pass and the Vienna Flexi Pass?

The Vienna Pass is an all-inclusive sightseeing card covering up to 90 attractions for 1, 2, 3 or 6 consecutive days. The Vienna Flexi Pass lets you choose 2 to 5 attractions from up to 70 options and visit them over 60 days.

Is the Vienna Pass worth it for my trip?

It is worth considering if you plan to visit several paid attractions each day, especially palaces, museums, viewpoints, the zoo, and ride on Hop-on Hop-off buses. It may be less suitable if you prefer slow sightseeing or only have one or two paid attractions planned daily.

Is the Vienna Flexi Pass worth it?

The Flexi Pass is a good match when you want to visit only two to five major attractions but do not want a tightly scheduled sightseeing day. Its 60-day validity gives you far more flexibility, and depending on your itinerary, you can save up to 30%.

How many attractions can I choose with the Vienna Flexi Pass?

You can choose a Flexi Pass with 2, 3, 4, or 5 attraction visits. Select your experiences from a list of up to 70 participating Vienna attractions and sightseeing offers.

Are Hop-on Hop-off buses included?

Yes, but the nature of the inclusions differs. The Vienna Pass includes unlimited Vienna Sightseeing Hop-on Hop-off bus use throughout its validity. With the Vienna Flexi Pass, a 72-hour Hop-on Hop-off ticket is available but counts as one of the selected attractions.

Is regular public transport included?

No. Neither pass covers Vienna’s regular public transport services, such as the U-Bahn, trams, and standard city buses. Buy a separate public transport ticket if you plan to use these services between attractions.

Do I need to book attractions in advance?

Some popular attractions may require an advance reservation or timed-entry slot. The pass provides admission or preferred entry where applicable, but it does not always remove the need to follow an attraction’s booking process.

Can I visit the same attraction twice?

No. Each attraction can generally be visited once with either pass. However, Vienna Pass holders may ride the Vienna Sightseeing Hop-on Hop-off buses as often as they wish throughout their selected validity period.

Can I use the Vienna Pass or Flexi Pass on my phone?

Yes. Both passes are available as mobile passes for eligible bookings. You receive a QR code by email, which you show at participating attractions.

Are the passes suitable for children?

Children under 6 can receive free admission to selected participating attractions when accompanied by an adult pass holder. Review attraction rules for young children and then decide if it would be financially beneficial to purchase a city card for your child.

Which Vienna Pass is right for you?

If you want to see as much as possible in a few days

Choose the Vienna Pass if you are planning a packed sightseeing break and expect to visit several paid attractions daily. It offers entry to up to 90 attractions for 1, 2, 3 or 6 consecutive calendar days, along with unlimited Vienna Sightseeing Hop-on Hop-off bus travel. It is a strong match for first-time visitors who want to combine Schönbrunn Palace, Upper Belvedere, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Hofburg Palace, the Albertina, and the Giant Ferris Wheel in one trip.

The pass works best when you start early and group attractions by neighbourhood. Its validity runs from midnight to midnight on consecutive calendar days, so activating it late in the day uses up a full day of access. The 6-day version offers the most time to spread out museums, tours and family experiences at a calmer pace.

If you want to visit only a few top attractions without rushing

Choose the Vienna Flexi Pass if you want to visit 2, 3, 4 or 5 hand-picked attractions instead of squeezing in as many sights as possible. You can select from up to 70 attractions and visit your chosen spots over 60 days from first use. This makes it ideal for couples, slower-paced travellers, families, locals, or visitors returning to Vienna with a short list of priorities.

For example, a four-attraction plan could include the 72-hour Hop-on Hop-off bus tour, Schönbrunn Palace, Schönbrunn Zoo, and the Kunsthistorisches Museum. The Flexi Pass can save up to 30% compared with buying standard tickets separately, depending on your chosen programme.

Tips to use your Vienna Pass smartly

Use the Vienna Pass for high-value attractions first, such as Schönbrunn Palace, Schönbrunn Zoo, Belvedere, and the Hop-on Hop-off bus.
Activate the Vienna Pass early in the morning, as its1/2/3/6-day validity runs by consecutive calendar days.
Save Schönbrunn Palace, the zoo, Desert Experience House, and garden attractions for one dedicated day to minimise cross-city travel.
Reserve timed-entry attractions early, especially during summer, weekends, school holidays, and around major public holidays.
Use the Vienna Sightseeing Hop-on Hop-off bus on your first day to understand the city’s layout before returning to favourite neighbourhoods independently.
Build a Flexi Pass itinerary around expensive choices: the more valuable your selected attractions, the stronger the potential saving.
Pair the Kunsthistorisches Museum with the Museum of Natural History, as the two grand museums face each other across Maria-Theresien-Platz.
Give art-heavy days enough breathing room: the Albertina, Belvedere, and Leopold Museum each deserve a fair share of time rather than a rushed stop.
Remember that both passes only allow one entry per included attraction, so decide when you have enough time for a complete visit.
Do not rely on either pass for regular public transport. Buy a separate ticket for the U-Bahn, trams, S-Bahn, and standard public buses.
Check current opening hours, reservation rules, and admission procedures shortly before every visit, as attraction policies can change.
