Vienna Welcome Card

No. The card is primarily a public-transport ticket and discount card. It offers reduced prices at participating museums, attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops, but you will still usually need to purchase an admission ticket.

The card covers travel within Vienna’s city limits on the U-Bahn, trams, and buses. This makes it easy to reach key areas such as Schönbrunn, the Prater, Belvedere, and the historic centre.

The card provides discounts at more than 200 participating partners across attractions, museums, tours, restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues. Participating businesses and specific offers may change, so check the current list before booking.

Choose 24 hours for a quick visit, 48 hours for a weekend plan, and 72 hours for a more relaxed short break. The 7-day card is for travellers planning to spend close to a week in the city.

Standard city transport validity generally applies within Vienna’s city limits, so airport travel may require an additional ticket or a specific airport-transfer add-on. Check your selected card’s terms carefully before travelling from Vienna International Airport.

The card itself does not usually reserve your entry. Popular attractions, palace tours, museum time slots and evening shows may require advance booking, particularly during peak seasons, weekends, and public holidays.

Discount conditions depend on the individual partner, but offers are generally intended only for a single eligible purchase or visit.

Children’s eligibility depends on their age and the selected card’s conditions. Children under six generally travel free on Vienna’s public transport, while many museums have separate youth admission rules, so compare individual child pricing at major attractions and see if it fits within your budget before purchasing a card.
