Tourist cards can be found in pretty much every major city, and they can help you visit multiple major attractions for a portion of the price. The Vienna Pass is the most popular tourist card that Vienna, Austria has in store, but what can you expect from it, and is it worth the price?

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.

Vienna will knock you off your feet with its stunning architecture, and it doesn’t take a fortune to explore some of its most beautiful buildings. Many of Vienna’s best architectural marvels can be visited free of charge, and that’s the case with these top attractions of the Austrian capital.

St. Stephen’s Cathedral

You don’t have to buy a ticket to visit Vienna’s iconic St. Stephen’s Cathedral. The catacombs, north and south towers can only be visited for an entrance fee, but the entrance to the cathedral itself is 100% free.

Peterskirche

Another church you can visit free of charge, Peterskirche is located in the very heart of Vienna, and it will win you over with its Baroque art and architecture.

Austrian Parliament Building

A visit to the Austrian Parliament Building also won’t cost you a thing, but it’s important to register your visit in advance if you want to join one of its amazing free guided tours.

Palais Kinsky

Palais Kinsky gained popularity in recent years thanks to social media, as many travelers flocked to this 18th-century stucco palace after learning that entrance is free.

Justizpalast

Vienna’s Palace of Justice is also one of the government buildings that you can explore for free, but only some parts are available to the public.

Everyone should visit Vienna at least once in a lifetime, but exploring this magical city doesn’t come cheap. Vlada of Vlaki’s Life learned this the hard way when she moved to the Austrian capital for her studies, but she figured out how to explore it on a budget—and she’ll help you do the same.

Vlada is an international student based in Vienna, and she now feels right at home in this city – but that wasn’t always the case. Navigating Vienna as an international student had its challenges, and Vlada decided to share her story with the world in hope it would be a learning lesson for other people on a similar journey.

Vlada didn’t initially envision her Instagram page as a travel blog. She wanted to create a community where students feels safe to explore a new city without fear, giving them information and assistance about living in Vienna. As her page grew, she started sharing attractions you can explore in the Austrian capital on a limited budget, attracting the attention of a larger audience.

Whether you’re student or not, Vlaki’s Life will give you all the info you need to explore Vienna without spending a fortune. Her videos will introduce you to many hidden gems you can explore for free, while also helping you save money on other attractions that don’t offer free admission.

For many people, Austria is known as the country that provided stunning vistas and amazing landscapes for the film The Sound of Music. While natural sights are definitely one of the top reasons to visit Austria, there’s so much more to consider, from delicious artisanal pastries to beautiful classical music. Check out these top three reasons to visit Austria this summer.

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.

When people think of the small central European nation of Austria, the snowy mountainscape of the Alps and the city of Vienna often come to mind. Still, there’s a less talked-about city that is also worth visiting if you’re interested in enjoying a fascinating and charming short trip in Europe. Here are the best things to do in Salzburg, Austria.

Mirabell Palace

While you may fall in love with this historic castle given its stunning architecture and perfectly manicured gardens, what makes Mirabell Palace all the more interesting is that it was a major filming location for several important scenes in the classic film The Sound of Music. This makes Mirabell the perfect place to enjoy a day of tranquil sightseeing and reminiscing of classic cinema.

Hangar7

If you love aircraft and funky architecture, then there’s no better place to visit than Hangar7. Owned by Red Bull co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz, this aircraft hangar is also home to an array of Formula 1 cars and two cocktail bars.

St Peter’s Abbey and Catacombs

Free to enter, this is not just a must-visit location due to its affordability. If you enjoy visiting scary places, then consider stopping by the creepy graveyard adjacent to St Peter’s Abbey, which happens to be the oldest in Salzburg.

Austria has a rich and unique history and culture, and there’s so much variety between the regions and cities that it’s hard to choose where to visit. If you’re someone who appreciates the joys of a vibrant city but also loves the natural world then Innsbruck should be next on your list. Here’s why.

The Mountains

You will wander through the streets of the city, and through gaps in buildings suddenly get glimpses of huge towering mountains. This backdrop is incredible and means you can’t get bored as you’ll always have a beautiful mountain range to gaze up at.

The Architecture

Innsbruck is known for its interesting architecture. Huge gothic buildings line the streets and large squares highlight the grandiosity of it all. Among this, colorful apartment blocks add some extra flare to the beautiful city, and you won’t run out of interesting details to spot. 

The Bars

Austria is known for its delicious beer, and what better way to enjoy this than sitting on the terrace of a charming and authentic bar on the streets of Innsbruck? Weissbier is a traditional beer originating in this region and is unlike any beer you will try elsewhere.

What’s more fun than a Christmas market? With free samples to try, intoxicating aromas in the air, a general sense of Christmas cheer and plenty of exciting gift ideas, it’s no wonder that across Europe these markets are some of the most popular tourist destinations. If you’re planning on getting into the festive spirit in the coming months, here are three of the best markets to try.

Frankfurt, Germany

This German city gets transformed throughout the months of October to December, to become a true winter wonderland. Wander from stall to stall, sampling some of the free gluhwein and admiring the traditional music piping from street corners. Despite the cold, the city takes on a warm, cosy feeling, and you’re guaranteed to find unique gifts from the sprawling market.

Vienna, Austria

One of Europe’s most beautiful cities is a natural stage for Christmas festivities. With cafes serving cream cakes and steaming cups of hot cocoa, you’ll find plenty to fuel you around the Christmas market. Don’t forget to stop and admire the stunningly traditional decorations adorning the city. Do be aware that this is one of Europe’s most popular Christmas markets, so it may be best to visit earlier in the season, before the crowds descend.

Edinburgh, UK

The Scottish captial really delivers when it comes to festive charm. The beauty of the city is a great backdrop for glittering lights and bustling market stalls. Check out some of the delicious Scottish delicacies (what says Christmas better than smoked salmon and barrel-aged whisky?) and enjoy minging with the jolly crowds who are all here to catch a bit of that festive magic.

Many cities across Europe host Christmas markets, but the three listed here are ome of the finest. Wrap up warm, bring some bags, and prepare to mingle with the crowds at one of these stunning markets.

If you enjoy exploring opulent palaces in every new country you visit, you shouldn’t miss Australia for the world. Each major city in this country is home to quite a few palaces including Salzburg, and here are three that will win you over with their rich history and architectural beauty.

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.

Fans of classic architecture should visit Vienna at least once in a lifetime, and its lavish palaces are some of its biggest gems. They’re scattered all around the Austrian capital and its surroundings, and here are three that you shouldn’t miss while exploring this city.

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.

If you’re a classical music lover, you may have considered visiting Vienna, Austria. As the home of a large number of very famous composers including Mozart and Strauss, Vienna is a center of music history and performance. One way to take advantage of this is to see a concert in one of the many beautiful, historic concert venues around the city.

Mozart’s House

The house where Mozart lived and worked is a museum where you can learn about his life. On the ground floor is a small concert venue where you can hear a string quartet playing the music composed right where you sit.

St. Stevens Cathedral

St. Stephen’s cathedral is an internationally known landmark for its soaring gothic architecture and tall spires. Inside you can view some history about Christianity, and the prayer hall has amazing acoustics where you can see concerts if you come at the right time of year.

The Kursalon

Built in the 1800s, the Kursalon was a venue that hosted waltzes where Johann Strauss himself performed. You can now continue to see concerts in this historic building just like Austrians did back in the day. There is also a famous statue of Strauss right nearby.

You will wander through the streets of the city, and through gaps in buildings suddenly get glimpses of huge towering mountains. This backdrop is incredible and means you can’t get bored as you’ll always have a beautiful mountain range to gaze up at.

The Architecture

Innsbruck is known for its interesting architecture. Huge gothic buildings line the streets and large squares highlight the grandiosity of it all. Among this, colorful apartment blocks add some extra flare to the beautiful city, and you won’t run out of interesting details to spot. 

The Bars

Austria is known for its delicious beer, and what better way to enjoy this than sitting on the terrace of a charming and authentic bar on the streets of Innsbruck? Weissbier is a traditional beer originating in this region and is unlike any beer you will try elsewhere.

What’s more fun than a Christmas market? With free samples to try, intoxicating aromas in the air, a general sense of Christmas cheer and plenty of exciting gift ideas, it’s no wonder that across Europe these markets are some of the most popular tourist destinations. If you’re planning on getting into the festive spirit in the coming months, here are three of the best markets to try.

Frankfurt, Germany

This German city gets transformed throughout the months of October to December, to become a true winter wonderland. Wander from stall to stall, sampling some of the free gluhwein and admiring the traditional music piping from street corners. Despite the cold, the city takes on a warm, cosy feeling, and you’re guaranteed to find unique gifts from the sprawling market.

Vienna, Austria

One of Europe’s most beautiful cities is a natural stage for Christmas festivities. With cafes serving cream cakes and steaming cups of hot cocoa, you’ll find plenty to fuel you around the Christmas market. Don’t forget to stop and admire the stunningly traditional decorations adorning the city. Do be aware that this is one of Europe’s most popular Christmas markets, so it may be best to visit earlier in the season, before the crowds descend.

Edinburgh, UK

The Scottish captial really delivers when it comes to festive charm. The beauty of the city is a great backdrop for glittering lights and bustling market stalls. Check out some of the delicious Scottish delicacies (what says Christmas better than smoked salmon and barrel-aged whisky?) and enjoy minging with the jolly crowds who are all here to catch a bit of that festive magic.

Many cities across Europe host Christmas markets, but the three listed here are ome of the finest. Wrap up warm, bring some bags, and prepare to mingle with the crowds at one of these stunning markets.

If you enjoy exploring opulent palaces in every new country you visit, you shouldn’t miss Australia for the world. Each major city in this country is home to quite a few palaces including Salzburg, and here are three that will win you over with their rich history and architectural beauty.

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.

Fans of classic architecture should visit Vienna at least once in a lifetime, and its lavish palaces are some of its biggest gems. They’re scattered all around the Austrian capital and its surroundings, and here are three that you shouldn’t miss while exploring this city.

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.

If you’re a classical music lover, you may have considered visiting Vienna, Austria. As the home of a large number of very famous composers including Mozart and Strauss, Vienna is a center of music history and performance. One way to take advantage of this is to see a concert in one of the many beautiful, historic concert venues around the city.

Mozart’s House

The house where Mozart lived and worked is a museum where you can learn about his life. On the ground floor is a small concert venue where you can hear a string quartet playing the music composed right where you sit.

St. Stevens Cathedral

St. Stephen’s cathedral is an internationally known landmark for its soaring gothic architecture and tall spires. Inside you can view some history about Christianity, and the prayer hall has amazing acoustics where you can see concerts if you come at the right time of year.

The Kursalon

Built in the 1800s, the Kursalon was a venue that hosted waltzes where Johann Strauss himself performed. You can now continue to see concerts in this historic building just like Austrians did back in the day. There is also a famous statue of Strauss right nearby.
