Vienna City Card 24, 48, 72 hours or 7 days: price per day
At Tiqets the 72-hour card and the 7-day card cost the same, €39.00 each. We break the four options down to a daily price and show what each extra day costs.
The four options, calculated per day
| Option | Price | Days | Per day | Public transport included |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 hours | €19.00 | 1 | €19.00 | 1 × 24 hours |
| 48 hours | €31.00 | 2 | €15.50 | 2 × 24 hours |
| 72 hours | €39.00 | 3 | €13.00 | 7 days |
| 7 days | €39.00 | 7 | €5.57 | 7 days |
Important: 24, 48 and 72 hours are hours, while the 7-day card is valid for calendar days. According to the issuer, the 72-hour card includes a 7-day public transport ticket, while the discounts apply for 72 hours. Tiqets describes this differently (public transport for the chosen duration, discounts for 7 days). The terms shown to you at purchase are what counts.
What each extra day costs
- First day: €19.00 (24-hour card)
- Second day: €12.00 extra (€31.00 instead of €19.00)
- Third day: €8.00 extra (€39.00 instead of €31.00)
- Fourth to seventh day: no extra charge, the 7-day card costs €39.00, the same as the 72-hour card
For the same price, the 7-day card gives you four more days of discounts, and the public transport is the same for both. The 72-hour card therefore has no price advantage over the 7-day card.
What you actually pay for the discounts
Every option includes public transport. Subtract the price of the public transport ticket and what remains is the price of the discounts. We calculate with the paper 24-hour ticket at €10.20 and the digital 7-day ticket at €25.20 (not transferable, €28.90 on paper). In the WienMobil app the 24-hour ticket is a little cheaper.
| Option | Card | Public transport without the card | Price of the discounts | Per discount day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 hours | €19.00 | €10.20 | €8.80 | €8.80 |
| 48 hours | €31.00 | €20.40 | €10.60 | €5.30 |
| 72 hours | €39.00 | €25.20 | €13.80 | €4.60 |
| 7 days | €39.00 | €25.20 | €13.80 | €1.97 |
The documented discounts on single admissions are between €1.00 and €4.00. With the 24-hour card you would therefore need, for example, 3 admissions with €4.00 discount each in one day. With the 7-day card, €13.80 is spread over seven days. Which discounts are documented is listed under Vienna City Card attractions.
The alternative without public transport
Discounts Only costs €9.00 for 7 days of discounts without public transport. With two 24-hour tickets that comes to €29.40, which is €1.60 less than the 48-hour card. For one day, the 24-hour card is cheaper (€19.00 instead of €19.20). Together with the digital 7-day ticket it comes to €34.20, which is €4.80 less than the 72-hour card and the 7-day card. The catch: with Discounts Only no child travels free, and the digital ticket is not transferable.
The longer card is not automatically the right one
A low price per day only helps if you actually use the discounts. If you only need public transport, you always pay less with a public transport ticket. When the discounts make up for the extra cost is worked out with two examples in Is the Vienna City Card worth it? The four options at a glance are on the Vienna City Card prices page. Whether an option pays off for your plans is shown by the Vienna City Card calculator.
