One of the best decisions I made while in Salzburg, was to purchase the 24 hour Salzburg Card. It is advertised as the “most important card for your visit in Salzburg” and I couldn’t agree more. The card has multiple functions and acts as your transportation card, admission and entrance card as well as a discount card during your stay in Salzburg.
I’m not going to get into where you can use the Salzburg card, because there are numerous websites that already list this information. The reason I wanted to write this post is to let you know that this card offered so many savings that I could have purchased it for double the price and still saved money.
One of the things that I really liked about the card is that unlike most attraction tickets and passes, it included the admission costs of most (if not all) the Salzburg area attractions. You just need to make one payment and you are covered for anything you may want to see in Salzburg and the surrounding area.
The card can be purchased at many different parts of the city, including most hotels and tourist sights. After purchasing the card, it kicks into effect when you use it for the first time and will stay valid for either 24, 48 or 72 hours, depending on which option you purchase. The current pricing for 2015 is as follows:
| 24 Hour Adult | € 27.00 |
| 24 Hour Child | € 13.50 |
| 48 Hour Adult | € 36.00 |
| 48 Hour Child | € 18.00 |
| 72 Hour Adult | € 42.00 |
| 72 Hour Child | € 21.00 |
