  No use! I sent an email before booking the pass to make sure that I didn't have to book slots in advance and that I could do whatever I wanted to visit. I was told yes, but you have to come early to get your tickets for Schönbrunn Castle for example. As I did result no visit available either for the castle or for the museum of Sisi, I have to wait Sunday for a visit while we are Thursday. I try again on Friday and surprise, we have to wait until Sunday. But I'm not here on Sunday. I called Thursday night and Friday morning Vienna Pass and Thursday night I'm told don't worry, you'll have entrances. Friday I'm told ma'am had to plan. Sorry, but I can't come four days early for a slot. Great anything!!! A scam!!! To flee!!!

• Convenient with frequent stops

  Good service and convenient. My only complaint is the traffic in Vienna which is maddening. The bus could use some charging outlets but it was clean and comfortable.

• Pass itself worth the money, busses waste of time

  The pass is good value, though you still have to book ahead for some attractions. Busses only run about 6 hours per day, infrequent and don't always turn up. Better value is to buy a tram pass, much more frequent, loads of routes and they travel boths ways.

• Avoid Vienna Pass

  Too expensive, I paid more than the value of the 6 days pass I purchased, I did not receive senior discount I had for tickets. It did not save me the long queues for time slot tickets (Shenbron Palace, Sis Musuem) It is limited and made me pay more to get acceptable service (Standing tickets only for Spanish Riding School, Part of Shenbron Palace Day ride only in Hop-On Hope-Off). There were no available timeslots in Sisi museum. Withe Vienna Pass I could reserve a timeslot only for the next day. Timeslot for the day after was available only with pid tickets. Premium price for low level product, Don't use it.

  We had bought the pass for 2 adults and 2 children up to 15 years. Good deal for us! Unlimited access to all museums and churches (at the Schloss for max €9 p.p. extension purchased. Recommended!). The use of the hop on hop off bus is also very nice. Especially since there are 4 lines running! We saved a lot of money because of this pass. Definitely recommended!

• An Invaluable Hassel free way to enjoy Vienna

  We purchased a Vienna pass for 3 days prior to arrival in the city. I read a bit of the guide you obtain prior to visiting, and it helped make the best use of your time, particularly knowing whish bus or U Bann to take and which station to get off. you can purchase a 1 day, 2 day or 3 day or 6 day pass, but felt a 4 or 5 day pass should have also been available. We found 3 days gave us a decent period of time for getting to see the venues that we were interested in visiting. The Vienna pass was hassle free, no need to pay entrance fees at each location. The Ubann day pass at 8 euros each greatly eased travelling.

• Rip-off

  Rip-off: we had the pass for 2 days and the description said that only St. Stephen's Cathedral (catacombs, tower) is not included, but up to 90 attractions can be visited without queuing and paying. Hop-on/hop-off bus is included and we used it, but it is not very suitable for getting from A to B. Schönbrunn Palace: only a small part could be visited without additional payment and we still had to queue ... Butterfly exhibition: just 1 € discount otherwise full admission fee, Charles Church: not included at all ... full admission fee, Sissi Museum: this wasn't originally on our wish list, but since we arrived in the afternoon (our 2. On the pass day) suddenly had more time, we still wanted to see it: but we would have had to book a time slot (on site!) / our afternoon was already full and for the following day we no longer had a pass. The first story that didn't work out as described: gone stupid on the 2nd: even more annoying, on the 3rd: it's rip-off Vienna is a beautiful city - for me a pale side taste remains in the memories of the city.

• Extremely disappointing! Not recommended

  Extremely disappointing!! We booked 3 days instead of 2 because we only arrived in the afternoon and we wanted to do a city cruise that day..yet booked and reserved ( was mandatory ) on mail was address of the trading kai instead of Schwedenplatzs from which the cruise departed . So taxi costs have to make ( in the evening rush hour 75 euros ) we arrive exactly on time .. the cruise does not appear accessible to us because of private party .. could they not have emailed us then ? Then we wouldn't have had any extra taxi costs. And had I not taken the more expensive 3 day ticket . Hop on hop off bus .terrible ..very low frequency and you could not see what the departure times were (also not on the app)..only 1 ride made with blue line . We had to get off the bus halfway to another bus ..unfriendly staff .. only if you want to go to Schonbrunn and everything there like zoo and palace and gardens etc then it can be rewarding ..my tip ..just book a day ticket OV ..you have much more on . For the 148 euros we paid we could have done more with much less frustration

• Loved the Vienna Pass!!

  We recently returned from a European trip that included 3 full days in Vienna. We decided to purchase the 3-day Vienna Pass and were certainly glad that we did. Over 3 days, we went to 23 attractions and rode the HOHO bus several times. We are really good at maximizing our time. To get the full benefit of the pass, you need to group your attractions by location so that you can see a lot of them each day. We were happy to do this and never felt rushed. On Day 1, we picked up the pass at the office and headed straight to the Sisi Museum. Then we did the Spanish Riding School and the Austrian National Library State Hall. We had booked tickets for the Opera House tour that afternoon ahead of time (the Vienna Pass office was very good about responding to my email on how to do that ahead of time before we arrived in Vienna). We also did the Papyrus Museum and the Royal History Through the Years. We tried to find the Habsburg Tour listed in the book and went to several locations but no one seemed to know anything about that so don't waste your time on this one. We also did the House of Music on Day 1. Day 2, we took the subway early in the morning to Schonbrunn Castle. No line ups and no problems getting a ticket. We upgraded by paying 9 Euros each for a more extensive tour of the castle (not needed if you aren't that interested...the Vienna Pass standard ticket actually comes with good access to the state rooms - I was suprised by this based on other reviews I read but I think the Schonbrunn has increased access for VP holders). Also, in the future, you will be able to book a ticket for Schonbrunn ahead of time and not have to show up at the ticket office on the day of (VP is working on this). We also did the Gloriette (well worth it and I would recommend the restaurant at the end of the Glorirette for lunch - it was very good), and the maze, the palm house, the Imperial Carriage Museum, and the zoo. We rode the train at the Schonbrunn and also at the zoo (both covered by the VP). After all that, we took the HOHO to the Upper Belvedere. Day 3, we took the HOHO to the Prater Park where we did the Ferris Wheel, Madame Tussauds and the Prater Museum. We got back on the HOHO and went to the Danube Tower where we had lunch at the revolving cafe at the top (very good food and views). We then took the HOHO to the Kunsthistoriches Museum, walked to the Imperial Treasury and the Natural History Museum. Overall an excellent experience with the VP. No issues at any of the attractions. I enjoyed the HOHO and thought the commentary was good. The HOHO is covered on top which is nice when it's raining but keep in mind that when it's sunny, it gets very hot on the top level as it's almost like a greenhouse. We really liked having the pass and knew that we would have the ability to go into an attraction if we felt like it and could leave if we didn't like it, and it was no big deal since we never really "paid extra" for the attraction. I would gladly purchase the VP again. I understand that it might not be worth it if you are only in Vienna for 1 or 2 days but 3 days was really optimal.

• 1 say is not enough, use...

  1 say is not enough, use this pass if traveling more than 1 day, the green colored pass would have been cheaper if touring only for 1 day
