Salzburg Card

Additional Information & Description

The Salzburg Card combines admission to the city’s tourist attractions and museums with free public transport. Explore the city of Mozart at your own pace, choosing a 24-, 48- or 72-hour option to match the time you want to spend sightseeing.

One visit to each attraction and museum

The card includes one-time entry to all city tourist attractions and museums for the duration of your selected option. That gives you scope to build a varied itinerary rather than focus on a single venue: you can move between museum collections and other city sights according to your interests. The admission allowance is one visit per attraction or museum, not unlimited repeat entry. The three available durations provide the same type of admission benefit over different lengths of time, so a longer option extends your sightseeing window rather than changing the one-time-entry rule.

Transport beyond the city streets

Free travel on public transportation is included, with the Festungsbahn funicular, Untersbergbahn lift and Mönchsberg lift specifically covered. These named services broaden the transport benefit beyond journeys on the city’s streets, adding funicular and lift travel to your plans. Salzach River Tour I is also included, bringing a river outing into the card’s range of activities. The precise tour name matters here: the covered river service is Tour I. Together, these transport inclusions let you vary how you explore Salzburg rather than spend the whole visit moving between sights on foot.

Discounts for cultural outings and excursions

The card also provides discounts on cultural events and concerts, alongside additional discounts at many excursion destinations. These are separate from the included attraction admissions and transport: they reduce the cost of eligible outings rather than make those outings free. They add another dimension to your plans, extending the card’s benefits to performances and excursions as well as daytime sightseeing.

Arrival and ticket delivery
