We spent three days in Vienna, and the Vienna Pass was a great choice! It made it so easy to use the hop-on, hop-off buses, which run every 20 minutes from strategically located stops. Admission to almost all attractions is included in the Vienna Pass. St. Stephen’s Cathedral isn’t included, but it was so crowded that we only toured the cathedral’s ship, without a guided tour of the catacombs...etc... Thanks to the Vienna Pass, we got in very quickly at every attraction. Over the three days, we each saved around 90 euros. It was definitely worth it.
