IS A HOP ON HOP OFF VIENNA BUS TOUR WORTH IT?

There are a lot of different types of bus tours, but this variety is probably the most popular in the world.

That being said, you might want to consider a few factors before purchasing tickets.

To start things off positively, let’s look into the pros of a hop-on-hop-off bus tour.

If you’re looking for a great way to get around the city with ease, a hop-on-hop-off bus tour might be exactly what you need.

Here are a few benefits you can expect to enjoy with one of these services:

Jump off at your leisure

The main advantage of this type of bus tour is that you can get off at several stops and explore the area at your leisure.

Once you are done looking around and experiencing various landmarks, you can jump back on the bus and continue your tour.

Live Tour Guides

Most hop-on-hop-off bus tours will have live guides to point out notable landmarks and historic sites in Vienna.

They may also provide interesting facts about these locations if they have the time!

Enjoy an overview of the city

In addition to offering the opportunity to hop off and explore, a hop-on-hop-off bus tour also includes both live commentary and an audio guide with a lot of useful information about Vienna.

Although they won’t go into great detail, these tours can serve as an excellent general overview showing you highlights of the city.

Great way to get around

Why pay for taxis, car rentals, or other forms of transportation?

Visitors who plan on taking a hop-on-hop-off bus tour will enjoy anywhere from 9-12 hours per day of transport to each of the major landmarks and other notable areas in Vienna.

After taking the tour, you can continue to use the bus service to get around the city with ease.

This is especially helpful if you end up getting either a 2 or 3-day ticket!

Reasonably priced service

Depending on the length of your ticket (1-3 days), prices typically range from €27 - €49 per person.

Considering that you’ll enjoy both a bus tour and transportation around the city, that’s a pretty good deal.

The longer your ticket is valid, the less you’ll pay per day of service.

For instance, while you might pay €27 for a 1-day hop-on-hop-off bus tour, you’ll only pay a bit more than €16 per day for a 3-day ticket!

As if that weren’t good enough, the 2 and 3-day tickets usually include additional tours and services at no extra cost.

Although there are a lot of great reasons to take a hop-on-hop-off bus tour, there are some aspects of this service that you may want to consider before making your purchase.

Basic commentary

While on these bus tours, you will have access to live commentary and an audio guide which provides a very limited amount of information about the city.

For many people, the details included in these tours will be more than enough.

However, if you’re looking for a more expansive outing that will cover additional historical facts, you may want to combine this service with a guided walking tour of Vienna.

Not the quickest transportation

Due to all of the information provided on a hop-on-hop-off bus tour and all the stops they must make, this is one of the slowest forms of transportation around Vienna.

Whether you’re looking for a quicker tour that won’t take as long, or you want to get around the city at a faster pace, you may want to consider other forms of transportation and/or another type of guided tour.

Seating is Not Assigned

Although some bus tours allow you to pay for the specific seat you’ll use while onboard, hop-on-hop-off bus tours offer first-come, first-served seating.

This may not be a concern during slow tourism seasons.

But, if you’re planning to visit when there will be a lot of people using these services, it could become difficult to find a good seat on the bus.

Travelers' Tip: Protect Yourself Against Pickpockets!

When traveling, it's crucial to stay vigilant and guard against pickpockets, especially in crowded trains, trams, and buses. Avoid leaving your camera hanging loosely from your shoulder, as the cord can be swiftly cut without your knowledge. Instead, keep your backpack or bag securely positioned in front of your body. Additionally, be cautious about lingering near doorways, as thieves often target purses and handbags right before the doors close. Stay alert and keep your belongings safe!
