Vienna Sightseeing Bus
Description
The Vienna Sightseeing bus runs four different routes on which you'll enjoy commentaries recorded in English about the places it passes through. These are the main stops:
- Red Line: starts at stop 2 (History of Art Museum) and runs along the Ringstrasse with stops at the State Opera, the Town Hall, the University, the Danube Pier, Heroes' Square, and St. Stephen's Cathedral.
- Blue Line: starts at stop 1 (State Opera) and goes to more distant parts such as the Prater amusement park, the Danube Park, the Danube Tower, and the Kunsthaus museum.
- Yellow Line: starts at stop 1 (State Opera) and brings you to the Schönbrunn and Belvedere palaces.
- Green Line (available from 14th June - 6th October 2024): starts at stop 47 (Votiva Church). This route takes you to the picturesque wine-growing village of Grinzing and the Kahlenberg hill. Please be aware that this line is only available for the 48 and 72 hour tickets

How Does it Work?
The Vienna Sightseeing ticket is valid for 24, 48, or 72 hours from the time it's used for the first time. This means that if it's used on Monday at 3 pm, it'll be valid until Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday at 3 pm (depending on the option you book). During this time you can get on and off the buses as many times as you want.
Although a start date is requested at the time of booking, you can use the service for 1 year after the date indicated.
When you make your booking we'll send you a voucher by email, which you'll have to hand in on the first bus you take.
