    Palace tours

    We purchased the extra tours to Schhonbrun Palace and Belvedere. I know that Big Bus has no control over this, but when you get there, you're given a time window that can be as much as 4 hours after you've arrived. We could not use either ticket, as we didn't have the whole day to spend at either place. Not pleased...

    Vienna in 2 days!

    It has been a busy 2 days ! We saw all the sites but did not have time for the self guided tour. The Belvedere and Schoenbrunn castles and gardens are a must. The Hop on Hop off bus is a great way to learn about the city and some history and see some of the sites. St.Stephenplatt area is full of life, shopping and hidden treasures. St. Stephen’s Cathedral is magnificent to just go in and see the church. If we had another day we might have taken a couple of the tours. And…. The Ferris wheel and it’s views left me awestruck. The river cruise on the Danube was scenic although the time waiting for the levy and water to go down was quite long. A great value and mixture of Vienna’s sites!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! It sounds like you made the most of your two days in Vienna, and we’re delighted our Hop-on Hop-off tour was part of it. We hope to welcome you back for those extra tours next time! Kind regards, Big Bus Tours Vienna

    Simply the best!

    Amazing! I've taken hop on hop off buses in many cities in the world and I can easily say this is the best! The staff are extremely helpful and special thanks to Stella who helped us with out our tickets to the palaces and boat cruise etc. She explained where to get off, where to go after getting off, which cruise to take and what to do after we had seen the palaces and taken the cruise. Fantastic service and all done with a cheery smile! I can highly recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: Hi! Thank you so much for your fantastic review and for choosing Big Bus Tours during your visit. We're thrilled to hear that this was your favorite hop-on hop-off experience and that our team helped make your day so enjoyable. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Stella, who will be delighted to know that her friendly and helpful service made such a positive impression. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you aboard again in another city soon! Mihai R. @ Big Bus Tours

    Highly recommend this, worth it in Vienna

    Julian at Schönbrunn palace was very helpful! We got to visit Schönbrunn, Upper Belvedere and do the last 5:30pm boat ride in one day, but it was a tight fast pace. MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR VOUCHERS from the people by the bus before boarding the bus, you will need to get the tickets from the ticket booth at each location from the printed vouchers, it’s confusing and a pain. You will get great pictures from the bus.

    Using the on/off bus as a way wound the city was very helpful. With two different routes we were able to see everything we wanted from the bus stops.

    Response from the operator: Hello, Eric! Thank you for your feedback.

    Best of Vienna Pass: Schönbrunn, Belvedere, Big Bus & Cruise: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.

    How much does Best of Vienna Pass: Schönbrunn, Belvedere, Big Bus & Cruise cost?

    +

    Prices start at $109 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Best of Vienna Pass: Schönbrunn, Belvedere, Big Bus & Cruise take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.

    Is Best of Vienna Pass: Schönbrunn, Belvedere, Big Bus & Cruise worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Vienna Pass: Schönbrunn, Belvedere, Big Bus & Cruise?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Best of Vienna Pass: Schönbrunn, Belvedere, Big Bus & Cruise suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Best of Vienna Pass: Schönbrunn, Belvedere, Big Bus & Cruise?

    +

    Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 1.4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Best of Vienna Pass: Schönbrunn, Belvedere, Big Bus & Cruise start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Vienna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Best of Vienna : Historic Center Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Vienna?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Vienna?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Best of Vienna Pass: Schönbrunn, Belvedere, Big Bus & Cruise?
