Visit Vienna on a Budget
Vienna is not a cheap city, but it's always possible to save money and enjoy your trip on a budget by doing a little bit of forward planning.
Book your flights and hotel in advance
Booking your flights and your hotel in advance can save you a lot of money. Use our hotel search engine to find the best offers. Most hotels allow you to cancel up to a day before your arrival, and many let you pay when you get there.
Tourist passes
Depending on the sites that you want to visit, the best way of saving money on your trip can be to use one of the city's tourist passes.
Which to choose?
The Vienna Pass is the most comprehensive option, as it includes skip-the-line access to the city's main places of interest. The Vienna Flexi Pass is ideal if you already know which attractions you'd like to visit. Meanwhile, the Vienna Card automatically includes unlimited public transport use and offers discounts on entrance fees to museums and other attractions.
Public transport
While Vienna's public transport network is not too expensive, you can still save money with travelcards. If you don't want the benefits of a tourist card, you can instead buy a travel pass for one or more days.
