Frequently Asked Questions about the Salzburg Card
The Salzburg Card is the official tourist card for Salzburg, offering one-time free admission to over 20 attractions and free use of public transport (24, 48, or 72 hours).
Included are, among others: Hohensalzburg Fortress, Mozart's Birthplace & Residence, Hellbrunn Palace, House of Nature, Cathedral Quarter, Zoo, Stiegl Brewery World, Museum of Modern Art, as well as the Fortress Railway, Untersberg Cable Car, Mönchsberg Elevator, and Salzach River Cruise.

In most cases, yes – as few as three to four visits make it worthwhile. Hohensalzburg Fortress (approx. €18), Mozart's Birthplace (approx. €15), and the House of Nature (approx. €15) already add up to around €48 – while the 24h card starts from €35. The Untersberg Cable Car (individual price approx. €34) is particularly good value. With a 72h card, savings of over €60 are possible.
Important: You will first receive a digital voucher by email, which must be exchanged for the physical Salzburg Card on-site. Redemption points:
- Tourist Info Mozartplatz 5 – daily 9am–5pm (Jan–Mar: closed on Sundays)
- Tourist Info Südtirolerplatz 1 (Main Railway Station)
- Shuttle bus No. 18 to the Old Town
Only the physical card grants admission – allow some time for the exchange.
The time starts only upon the first use of the physical card – not at the time of purchase or exchange. Example: First use at 10:00 am → card valid until 10:00 am the following day (for 24h). Tip: Activate the card late in the morning to get the most out of it.

No. Each attraction can be visited once free of charge. Additional visits to the same attraction are subject to a fee.
There is no dedicated fast-track entrance. However, you save time as no on-site ticket purchase is required – at many attractions (e.g. Fortress Railway, House of Nature) you can proceed directly to the entrance.
Yes – unredeemed vouchers can be cancelled or rebooked free of charge up to 24 hours before the visit date. Once the card has been redeemed and activated, no refund is possible.

The package includes the Salzburg Card (24, 48, or 72h) and an English-language Old Town walking tour with a licensed guide in a small group (max. 25 people) – including highlights of the Old Town, Mozart sites, and Mirabell Gardens. Cheaper than purchasing both tickets separately.
