Price per day: 9 city cards calculated side by side
Three days cost between €13.00 per day in Vienna and €79.56 per day in London. The cheapest cards, however, include no free admissions. We calculate all nine cards down to a daily price in euros.
What we calculate with
All prices are for adults. Most card prices are the prices at the ticket provider Tiqets, where you can book. For the I amsterdam City Card and the Berlin WelcomeCard (zone AB, without Potsdam) we calculate with the issuer's price. We convert pounds and kroner with the European Central Bank reference rate of 30 Oct 2026: €1 equals £0.8338 and DKK 7.4735. Tiqets itself settles the Budapest Card in euros, so there we use that euro price. If Tiqets shows you a euro price for London or Copenhagen, it can differ by a few cents from the converted amount.
Three days compared
Three days or 72 hours are available for eight of the nine cards, so that is where we compare. The free admissions column shows whether the card includes admissions entirely or only gives discounts.
| Card | 3 days | Per day | Public transport | Free admissions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vienna City Card | €39.00 | €13.00 | yes | no, discounts only |
| Berlin WelcomeCard (AB) | €39.50 | €13.17 | yes | no, discounts only |
| Barcelona Card | €59.00 | €19.67 | yes | yes |
| Lisboa Card | €62.00 | €20.67 | yes | yes |
| Budapest Card | €76.50 | €25.50 | yes | yes |
| I amsterdam City Card | €115.00 | €38.33 | yes | yes |
| Copenhagen Card | €139.02 (DKK 1,039) | €46.34 | yes | yes |
| London Pass | €238.67 (£199) | €79.56 | no | yes |
The Paris Museum Pass has no option for three days. The 4-day pass costs €129, which is €32.25 per day, without public transport. How the validity periods work out there is covered in Paris Museum Pass for 2, 4 or 6 days: the price per day.
The cheapest day for each card
With the longest option, the price per day falls for every card. But that only helps you if you use all the days.
| Card | Longest option | Price | Per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vienna City Card | 7 days | €39.00 | €5.57 |
| Berlin WelcomeCard (AB) | 6 days | €58.50 | €9.75 |
| Barcelona Card | 5 days | €79.00 | €15.80 |
| Lisboa Card | 3 days | €62.00 | €20.67 |
| Budapest Card | 4 days | €100.80 | €25.20 |
| Paris Museum Pass | 6 days | €159.00 | €26.50 |
| I amsterdam City Card | 5 days | €140.00 | €28.00 |
| London Pass | 10 days | €365.80 (£305) | €36.58 |
| Copenhagen Card | 5 days | €189.87 (DKK 1,419) | €37.97 |
The Lisboa Card is available for 72 hours at most. For the Vienna City Card, the 7-day card at Tiqets costs the same as the 72-hour card, which is why its daily price is so low.
Why the daily price alone says little
The cards include very different things. Vienna and Berlin are the cheapest per day because they include public transport and discounts, but not a single free admission. At the other end, the Copenhagen Card and the London Pass include every site in our attractions lists for free. With the London Pass, rides on bus and rail cost extra. The same goes for the Paris Museum Pass.
A high daily price therefore does not mean a card is not worth it. It only means you need more admissions before it pays off. How many that is for each card is worked out in the break-even articles:
- Is the Vienna City Card worth it?
- Is the Berlin WelcomeCard worth it?
- Is the Barcelona Card worth it?
- Lisboa Card: how many admissions to pay off
- Is the Budapest Card worth it?
- Is the Paris Museum Pass worth it?
- Is the I amsterdam City Card worth it?
- Is the Copenhagen Card worth it?
- Is the London Pass worth it?
A single day
Six of the nine cards are available for 24 hours or one calendar day. Barcelona Card, Berlin WelcomeCard and Paris Museum Pass start at 2 days.
- Vienna City Card: €19.00
- Lisboa Card: €31.00
- Budapest Card: €47.70
- I amsterdam City Card: €67.00
- Copenhagen Card: €78.81 (DKK 589)
- London Pass: €125.93 (£105)
Which card suits your trip ultimately depends on city, length of stay and programme. You can find the cards with all validity periods in the overview of city cards. You work out your own selection in the calculator of the respective card.
