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.
