Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingMorning hours are often quieter at Danube Tower, while sunset is one of the most popular times because of the city views. For a calmer visit, choose a morning; weekends, public holidays and school holidays are busier, and weather or operational issues can temporarily affect opening times or outdoor areas.
EntranceFor the visible Official site offer, the title specifies “ticket desk”, so do not assume that a QR code gives direct gate entry; follow the voucher instructions and allow time for any ticket-desk step. The GetYourGuide row is a river-cruise product, so use its own meeting-point and entry instructions rather than Danube Tower access guidance.
PriceThe official Danube Tower ticket is €34.90, while the GetYourGuide option is €35.00. Check the final checkout total and ticket inclusions before paying, especially if booking conditions or added services differ.
DiscountsThe supplied offer rows do not specify free, reduced, child, disability, or proof-of-eligibility rules. Check the current official venue terms and booking channel before relying on a concession or free-entry option.
Planning your visit
Danube Tower, also known as Donauturm, Vienna Danube Tower and Donauturm Wien, rises to 252 meters height in Donaustadt beside Donauinsel. Designed by Hannes Lintl for the Vienna International Horticultural Exhibition 1964, it combines city history with a 360-degree observation deck and panoramic views across Vienna.
A Donauturm entrance ticket includes the ride in the high-speed express elevator to the open-air viewing platform, while a Danube Tower fast-track elevator ticket provides priority access to the lift. The foyer features interactive panoramic screens, and the Donauturm slide offers an additional attraction above the city. The Turm Restaurant and Turm Café are reached from the central level, with restaurant visits requiring a tower restaurant reservation for a guaranteed table.
Donauturm opening hours vary by season, and the last elevator ascent is 45 minutes before closing. The tower stands at Donauturmstraße 8; public transport connections include U1 Alte Donau station, U6 Neue Donau station and Bus 20A Donauturm. The Vienna International Centre is another useful landmark when planning the U1 route.
A Vienna Pass Donauturm benefit may include admission depending on the pass’s current scope, so confirm the applicable terms before travel. The Danube Tower is close to Vienna’s Danube Park, making it practical to combine the visit with Donaustadt walks, views toward Donauinsel and a meal at the Turm Restaurant or Turm Café.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Online Danube Tower tickets are tied to the selected visit date and booked time slot and cannot be exchanged, rescheduled or refunded.
- Fast-lane access applies to the express lifts; you still need to scan the QR ticket at the entrance turnstiles and follow Danube Tower safety controls.
- Strollers cannot be taken into the express lifts, so they must be left in the storage area at the entrance; a baby carrier or car seat may be more practical.
- Dogs are not permitted inside Danube Tower, except guide dogs and assistance dogs.
- The Danube Tower Slide requires a separate valid admission ticket and is restricted to visitors at least 110 cm tall and 6 years old.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Can I use a mobile ticket at Danube Tower, and do I need to book a time slot?
Yes. Danube Tower accepts digital QR tickets on a smartphone, and online admission is tied to the selected visit date and time slot. You can scan the QR code at the entrance gate without stopping at the ticket desk.
Can I cancel, change, or get a refund for my Danube Tower ticket?
Official admission tickets generally cannot be exchanged, rescheduled, or refunded. If you miss the booked slot, admission is not guaranteed and later entry, rebooking, or a refund is normally unavailable.
Should I buy from the Official site or a partner?
Choose the Official site when you specifically want the "Danube Tower & Immersive Exhibition Ticket (ticket desk)". The partner option is titled "Vienna: Danube River Cruise w/ optional Viennese Specialties", so confirm that its inclusions match your intended Danube Tower visit before paying.
Are bags checked at Danube Tower?
Yes. Bag checks and random security inspections may take place, so a timed or fast-lane ticket does not necessarily bypass security. Do not bring dangerous, prohibited, or potentially hazardous items.
What happens if I arrive late for my Danube Tower time slot?
Late arrival can mean losing fast-lane access, and admission at a later time is not guaranteed. The ticket may remain usable as regular admission, but changes, refunds, or rebooking are generally not possible.
Do children and reduced-price visitors need special proof at Danube Tower?
Reduced admission requires valid proof such as a photo ID, student ID, senior pass, or disability pass. Children under 3 receive a free ticket only at the on-site ticket desk when accompanied by an adult or senior ticket holder, and children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
What is the main bottleneck inside Danube Tower?
The express lift and its access gate are the key admission bottleneck because visitors must scan their ticket and use the lift to reach the viewing areas. Online tickets provide priority access to the express lifts, but security checks and late arrival rules still apply.
