Vienna Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus Tour

The Big Bus sightseeing bus lets you explore Vienna without having to organise each journey separately. You can take a panoramic tour to get an initial overview of the city or use its stops to create a personalised itinerary and spend more time at the places that interest you most.

The red route takes you through the historic centre and past some of Vienna’s most iconic landmarks. Along the way, you’ll be able to see sights such as the State Opera House, St Charles’s Church, the Parliament, City Hall, the Votive Church and the MuseumsQuartier, as well as getting close to the Danube area.

The blue route is specially designed to help you discover the city’s imperial heritage. It connects the city centre with Schönbrunn Palace and also passes close to Belvedere Palace and the Arsenal, allowing you to combine the historic centre with some of Vienna’s most important royal residences in a single experience.

The Discover ticket offers unlimited travel for 24 hours and is ideal for seeing the main attractions in a single day. The Essential ticket extends the validity to 48 hours, so you can spread your visits over two days and explore each area at a more leisurely pace.

What’s more, the Essential ticket includes a code to download a self-guided walking tour from Vox, ideal for continuing to explore the city once you’ve got off the bus. This option also includes a free Viennese hot dog, subject to the redemption instructions provided in your booking.

Validity begins when you activate the ticket on the booked day. You can start your tour at any of the designated stops and, from that moment on, hop on and off as many times as you like during the 24 or 48 hours corresponding to your chosen option.
