1-hour chamber concert in Vienna’s Baroque St. Peter’s vaults, Classic Ensemble Vienna playing Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven.
“A very pleasant evening, musicians were of a high caliber and delivered a flawless performance.”
A day ticket to Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, from Egyptian rooms to Rubens and Rembrandt, plus royal jewels in the Kunstkammer.
“Overall, the visit was very interesting and enriching — the exhibition is well curated and the collection is impressive. However, I had a rather unpleasant experience with one of the security staff. I got a bit too close to one of the Egyptian tombs (without touching anything), and the guard reacted extremely rudely, practically shouting at me in front of other visitors. It was an unnecessarily harsh and embarrassing moment that really stood out from an otherwise great experience. I believe visitors could be guided more respectfully.”
Vienna PASS gives free entry to up to 90 attractions, plus unlimited hop-on hop-off buses, fast-track entry options, and a built-in guidebook.
“Overall was ok. It would be better if the bus has maps to show how to get to the waiting area. Today we missed the attraction at belvedere palace because the yellow line bus did not stop at location 34 & 35 which we wanted to alight. Due to time constraints, we have missed this attraction which is disappointing. The bus stopped at location 33 n then moved to 1. Regards”
Visit Mozart’s preserved Vienna apartment with multilingual adult and kids audio guides across 3 exhibition levels, with optional Haus der Musik.
“A wonderful and interesting visit to the Mozarthaus. So it’s well worth combining with Haus der Musik.”

“the view the best. warn older visitors of how many steps to restaurant or shelp with finding lifts”
Ride Austria’s oldest funicular or walk up, then explore Hohensalzburg Fortress and its interactive exhibits with 360 views over Salzburg.
“Great views, went early in the morning to beat the crowds and it was nice. The museums are very informative and full of historical facts and stories. I enjoyed the interactive parts of the Arsenal area.”
Albertina Museum tickets in Vienna: Monet-Picasso, rotating modern art exhibitions, and restored Habsburg state rooms in a prime city location.
“Excellent exhibitions on and thoroughly enjoyed the Eva Beresin in particular. It was not too crowded which made the experience very pleasant.”
Walk through Freud’s Vienna home and office at Berggasse 19, hear real voices, try AR Freud's Couch, then reflect on exile history.
“Very interesting to see Freud's work and life. He definitely helped shaped psychology.”
Visit St. Stephen's Cathedral, Dom Museum Wien, timed catacombs, and both towers with phone audio and great Vienna views.
“This wasn't a guided tour - but St Stephen's was a lovely place to visit and the cost was worth it because of the areas I could access and the central part of the church had very few people in it so photography was much more straight-forward.”
Step into Vienna’s Imperial Crypt to see the Habsburgs’ ornate tombs, learn 400 years of empire, and pair it with A Little Night Music.
“I love history, so it was very special for me. Unique experience. I've done some research, and I found fascinating that the hearts of the Habsburgs monarchy are not placed within the crypts, but inside the monastery.”
A fun, family-friendly visit to Museum of Illusions Vienna with 70+ interactive exhibits, top photo rooms, and brain-bending puzzles.
“Similar to other Museums of Illusions. Light hearted bit of fun. Nothing particular special. Worth going if you’ve never been to another museum of illusions.”
Skip the ticket line at Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens. See the Crystal Cloud, Chambers of Wonder, and a Playtower for kids.
“Brilliant exhibitions with detailed information. Good outdoor areas with good facilities for children. Good value for money easily accessible via complimentary transport which was clean and ontime. Maybe an enhancement is to show how the crystals are made.”
