Vienna Pass · Digital pass on your phone
A digital pass for 1, 2, 3 or 6 days with one entry each to 85+ Vienna sights, the Albertina among them, plus unlimited hop-on hop-off buses. It earns its price on full days with three or more big sights, not on a slow day with one museum.
The Vienna PASS is a QR code on your phone. You show it at the entrance of each attraction, and the attraction list names the Albertina Museum & Art Gallery next to Schönbrunn Palace, the Hofburg, the Upper and Lower Belvedere, the Spanish Riding School, the Kunsthistorisches Museum and more than 50 others. At the Albertina that one entry gets you the same museum as a normal ticket: the 20 Habsburg State Rooms, the Batliner Collection and every exhibition running that day. Unlimited rides on the hop-on hop-off buses (4 routes, 50 stops) link the sights.
Read the rules before you count on it. Each attraction once: the Albertina is one visit, not a season ticket. No public transport: trams, buses and the U-Bahn are not included, only the sightseeing buses. Days are calendar days, midnight to midnight, and the pass starts at the first scan, so a pass first used at 3 p.m. has already lost most of day one. Albertina Modern is a separate building on Karlsplatz with its own ticket; check the pass's own attraction list before you plan on it there. And The Kiss is not at the Albertina. Klimt's golden painting of 1907 to 1908 hangs in the Upper Belvedere, a short tram ride from the Albertina; the Albertina's own Klimt holdings are drawings, kept in storage like most of its works on paper.
The pass's own shop lists regular prices of EUR 109 for one day, EUR 149 for two days, EUR 175 for three days and EUR 199 for six days, and children aged 6 to 18 from EUR 55, with online specials often a little lower; under 6 go free with a pass-holding adult. Set that against desk prices: the Albertina costs EUR 20.90 in 2026 and the Upper Belvedere EUR 23. Two museums alone do not cover a day pass. Add Schönbrunn, the Hofburg and a hop-on loop on the same days and it starts to pay for itself.
Pick the sights first, then the pass length. Book the Schönbrunn time slot through the pass, and check which other sights need a reservation.
The pass activates at the first attraction you enter and counts calendar days. Start in the morning, not after lunch.
Show the QR code at the Albertina entrance on Albertinaplatz 1. Plan 1.5 to 2 hours for the State Rooms and Monet to Chagall, longer with the current shows.
The Hofburg borders the Albertina. The Hofburg Imperial Palace is on the pass list; the treasury and the Spanish Riding School are close by too.
Ride the hop-on bus, or pay for tram D from the Opera to Schloss Belvedere, for The Kiss in the Upper Belvedere.
Give Schönbrunn its own morning in your time slot, then work through the list. Each sight takes the pass once.
