The Sisi ticket: what the Sisi Pass is
If you search for a "Sisi ticket" for Schönbrunn, you are looking for the Sisi Pass. It combines three sights about Empress Elisabeth: the Palace Ticket for Schönbrunn, the Sisi Museum with the Imperial Apartments in the Hofburg, and the Furniture Museum Vienna with its exhibition "Sis(s)i in film".
The pass costs €60 for adults and €38 for children aged 6 to 18 (prices valid 1 July to 2 November 2026). With the Vienna City Card it costs €51. The operator quotes a saving of about 25 percent for adults compared with buying the parts separately. The pass is valid for one year from the date of issue. Children under 6 enter free. It is not a public transport ticket.
Only the palace part has a fixed date and time. At the other two sites you do not need a reservation.
Check the Sisi Museum before you buy
The museum part of the Sisi Museum in the Hofburg is closed until its reopening on 19 November 2026.
Until 18 November 2026 the Hofburg site runs with reduced prices and changed hours, daily from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm with last entry at 4:00 pm. Because the Sisi Pass is valid for one year, the Hofburg visit can wait until after the reopening. If you travel before 19 November, ask what the Hofburg part includes on your date, or consider the Palace Ticket alone. Prices at the Hofburg change from 19 November, and the new prices had not been published in mid-October. You can read more on our Hofburg page.
