The Vienna Flexi PASS Guidebook is produced by VPG Vienna Pass GmbH and enclosed with the Vienna Flexi PASS. The Vienna Flexi PASS Guidebook lists all attractions and other services included in the Vienna Flexi PASS, including contact and opening hours.
This information is provided to the best of our knowledge. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee the correctness and completeness of the information, as changes to the opening hours, in particular, may occur on short notice. Vienna Flexi PASS holders are requested to verify that the information is up to date on the individual websites of the contractual partners.

 

The Vienna Flexi PASS is a barcode card that, against a one-time payment, entitles the pass holder to free, one-time admission to 3, 4 or 5 attractions listed in the Vienna Flexi PASS Guidebook as well as the use of the Vienna Sightseeing Tours HOP ON HOP OFF buses (24 hours, all lines), within a validity period of 30 calendar days from the first day of use.

The Vienna Flexi PASS is transferable and valid for 30 days from the first day of use. So it is ideal for those who stay in Vienna for a longer time period. Why not give your loved ones 3, 4 or 5 visits to a museum as present – best enjoyed in company!

Children and youth from 6 to 18 years qualify for a Junior Vienna Flexi PASS which is half the price of an Adult Vienna Flexi PASS. From the 19th birthday onwards an Adult Vienna Flexi PASS is required. Please note that the child's age is that at the time of use, not at the time of purchase.

VPG Vienna Pass GmbH is not liable for any deficiencies, damage, losses or non-provision of services by individual contractual partners. Any complaints and claims the pass holder may have regarding the use of the services of a contractual partner can therefore only be raised against the relevant contractual partner of VPG Vienna Pass GmbH. In such a case, the terms and conditions of the relevant contractual partner of VPG Vienna Pass GmbH thus apply. Where claims cannot be derogated from by agreement and/or there is a liability of VPG Vienna Pass GmbH towards the pass holder, the liability of VPG Vienna Pass GmbH is limited to a maximum of 50% of the actual price paid for the Vienna Flexi PASS.

If an unused Vienna Flexi PASS is lost, VPG Vienna Pass GmbH must be notified immediately. We strongly recommend making the notification in writing to have proof of notification. After receiving proof of identity, the lost pass will be blocked to prevent misuse. A replacement pass will be issued to the pass holder against payment of a processing fee of €10.50. Every pass holder must store their Vienna Flexi PASS in such a way that it cannot be accessed by third parties. If the pass holder forgets the pass, no admission will be granted and no reimbursement will be made.

If you make a booking at our website, you will receive a booking confirmation by e-mail. Please print this booking confirmation and show it at the VIENNA SIGHTSEEING TOURS Customer Service Centre at the underground passage at the Vienna State Opera.

The pass holder must fill in the date of first use on the back of the Vienna Flexi PASS. The Vienna Flexi PASS is then valid for 30 calendar days from the first day of use. The Vienna Pass is transferable.

 

The Vienna Flexi PASS is available for 3, 4 or 5 visits, and as an Adult Vienna Flexi PASS (from the age of 19), and a Junior Vienna Flexi PASS (6 to 18 years).

Payment can be made online at our website www.viennasightseeing.at by credit card. Your data will be encrypted and not accessible to others. We accept following credit cards: Visa and MasterCard.

Some attractions offer carer places, special rates or free entry to visitors with special needs, so the Vienna Flexi PASS might not be the most suitable solution for you. We recommend you contact the sights you want to visit for further information. Also regarding accessibility, we would advise to check directly with the sights.

VPG Vienna Pass GmbH processes the pass holder's personal data received (in particular: full name, address, and the type, date, time and scope of services received [“data”]) and the data obtained during the use of the Vienna Flexi PASS for the purposes of service provision, service settlement with individual contractual partners (sights or attractions) and service optimisation.

The number of admissions is expressly printed on the Vienna Flexi PASS.
