What's free in Austria?

Thought a vacation in Austria will cost you a fortune? Not necessarily - Austria’s cities offer uncountable festivals, museums, galleries, sights and activities that are absolutely free of charge.

All over Austria
  • Entrance to most churches, markets, gardens, parks and galleries in Austria: indulge in great architecture, art, shopping and history!


  • Because of Austria`s long tradition many folklore festivals take place througout the year - particularly outside the cities - at which Austrian culture and lifestyle can be experienced first hand. Some of them are listed in the cities’ sections underneath, but really, there are sooo many, that we cannot list them all here, so just ask upon your arrival what’s coming up next.


  • Up to the age of 6, children travel for free in public transport. In many Austrian cities up to 4 children up to the age of 15 travel for free with their accompaniment. If you are travelling with kids generally ask for special reductions!


  • Enjoy the cool of Austria’s high quality drinking water - not only in your glass but in one of Austria’s numerous crystal clear lakes, with water so good you can drink it!


  • Around Christmas time -or to be more precise- starting in late November, Christmas Markets in many cities and towns all over Austria get you into a festive and cheerful mood!

  • The perfect way to usher in the New Year: Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck and many other major towns in Austria turn their old city centers into open-air ballrooms. On New Year's Eve watch the fireworks and waltz into the New Year!


  • Here is a listing on what's for free in:
    Vienna
    Salzburg
    Innsbruck
    Graz
    Linz

  • Almost for free: There are a number of discount cards with attractive value-added opportunities. You can explore the splendor and cultural delights of the cities with significant discounts on public transport, sightseeing, shopping, dining, etc.
