The post Can You Save Any Money in Vienna, Austria With a Vienna Pass? appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>What is the Vienna Pass?
You can visit up to 90 of Vienna’s top attractions with the Vienna Pass, and it includes everything from access to the hop-on-hop-off busses to fast-track entry to some of the city’s major sights. You can find the list of the attractions on the official website of Vienna Pass, and the adult ticket will set you back by between €89 and €179, depending on the number of days.
Flexi Pass
In addition to the regular pass, you can also consider buying the Vienna Flexi Pass, which is more affordable but covers fewer attractions. It allows you to explore the city at a slower pace because it’s charged by the number of the attractions that you’re going to visit, in addition to including the 24-hour access to hop-on-hop-off buses.
Right Choice
The Vienna Pass can be a great money-saver if you’re planning to visit multiple attractions in a short period of time. If you decide to buy it, it’s important to be well-organized, get an early start, and know which attractions you want to visit in advance. Try to group attractions in close proximity to each other and take advantage of hop-on-hop-off buses because they’re included in the price.
If you prefer exploring the city at a slower pace, the Vienna Pass might not be your cup of tea. Compare the regular prices of the attractions that you’re planning to visit, and if the numbers don’t add up, consider using the Vienna Flexi Pass or buying individual tickets instead.

]]>Cooler Climate
While some top European destinations such as Italy and Greece can now become uncomfortably hot over the high summer season, Austria should remain balmy but cool. Head to the mountainous regions if you’re really not a fan of the heat, or enjoy hanging out beside one of the country’s stunning lakes, such as the Attersee, close to the city of Salzburg.
Classic Culture
The cities of Vienna, Salzburg, and Innsbruck have rich offerings in terms of classical music. In the summer months, there are open-air classical concerts which are free to access in Innsbruck, while in Vienna there will be a top-level concert happening every night through the summer season. Make sure to book in advance, as these are incredibly popular and will sell out.
Cafe Capital
There are those who would claim that Austria is the cafe capital of the world. If you’re wandering around any of its towns or cities, you will find charming, and sometimes very glamorous, cafes with a full range of delicious pastries and delicacies as well as traditional, strong Austrian coffee. Sit for a while and people watch, or indulge in your new summer novel, and enjoy this aspect of Austrian life.

This German city gets transformed throughout the months of October to December, to become a true winter wonderland.

]]>Schloss Hellbrunn
This Renaissance palace has been around since the 17th century and it’s equally beautiful inside and out. If it doesn’t win you over with its gardens and novelty fountains, step inside to discover its stunning interior, but don’t expect to find any bathrooms since it only served as a day residence.
Mirabell Palace
Another breathtaking 17th-century palace, Mirabell is one of the top attractions of Salzburg’s historic center. You’ll be wowed by it as soon as you step into its beautifully landscaped gardens, but the real magic starts once you discover Marble Hall—an ornate ballroom and concert hall which hosts the Salzburg Palace Concerts.
Fortress Hohensalzburg
If you want to take a break from Renaissance palaces and visit Salzburg’s top medieval landmark, Fortress Hohensalzburg is just the place for you. After exploring the fortress, you’ll get to enjoy some of the views of the entire city from its hilltop location, stretching all the way to the Alps.

]]>Schönbrunn Palace
Schönbrunn Palace is one of the first places that comes to mind when someone mentions Vienna, and it’s definitely worth the hype. This 18th-century baroque summer palace is filled with hundreds of rococo rooms, but you should also take some time to explore its beautiful gardens with a large maze at their center.
Belvedere Palace
Belvedere consists of not one, but two equally stunning Baroque palaces that will knock you of your feet. It’s surrounded by scenic gardens, just like Schönbrunn, but most people who visit it are here to explore its extensive art collection, including the works by the Austrian master Gustav Klimt.
The Hofburg
You have to step out of Vienna’s city center to explore the previous two palaces, but that’s not the case with the Hofburg. It’s located in the very heart of the Austrian capital, and it’s the official residence of the president of Austria, after initially serving as the principal imperial palace of the Habsburg dynasty.
