Prices from

The value of the Salzburg Card depends entirely on your specific itinerary, the chosen 24, 48, or 72-hour duration, and your travel season. Because prices vary between the high season (April to October) and the low season (January to March and November to December), you should review your planned museum visits against individual ticket prices to determine if the pass is cost-effective for your trip. Since it grants one-time entry to each attraction and operates on rolling hours from your first use, careful planning of your activation time can help maximize your access to the city’s cultural sites.

Additional city benefits with the Salzburg Card

Beyond museum entry, the Salzburg Card offers various travel and leisure advantages throughout the city. Check individual listings to see whether each benefit is included or available at a discounted rate.

How to use the pass
Review purchase, activation, and important usage details for Salzburg Card before you visit.

01

How it works

Activate the smartphone or physical card at the beginning of the planned period and present it for one admission at each included city attraction. Use the transport benefit to connect the participating locations, while following any reservation or fixed-tour instructions shown for individual partners. A discounted partner is not a free attraction, and repeat entry is not generally included.

02

Purchase and activation

Buy online for smartphone use or obtain a physical card from participating hotels, tourist information offices, ticket offices or Salzburg Airport. Select the correct seasonal product and duration before payment. Because validity is measured in rolling hours, activation can be timed around the first open attraction rather than automatically losing the remainder of a calendar day.

Important information

Published 2026 prices are higher from April through October than during January–March and November–December. S-Bahn services are excluded from the transport benefit. Family calculations need extra care: the standard child card begins at age six, but some attractions charge admission from age four. Guided locations and performance-related sites can have fixed visiting times, so verify the live admission directory before activation.
