Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingFor the quietest visit, choose a weekday entry at or near 9 a.m.; visitor reports identify the first hour as the calmest. Imperial Treasury is open Wednesday through Monday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and closed on Tuesdays, so avoid Tuesday and expect more activity on weekends.
EntranceThe entrance to Imperial Treasury is in the Schweizerhof courtyard of the Hofburg, not at the palace’s other visitor entrances. Follow the compact route map: Hofburg → Schweizerhof → Imperial Treasury, and have your reserved entry time ready because admission is by time slot.
PriceThe official benchmark shown is €3 per person for “Audio Guide Group p.p. (groups of 10 or more),” which is a group audio-guide product rather than a standard admission ticket. Partner options shown cost €16, €32, €34, or €226 because they offer different inclusions, such as combo access or a private guided tour; check the final checkout total and inclusions before buying.
DiscountsChildren and young people under 19 enter free and do not need an online ticket; they are registered at the entrance when showing valid student identification. Reduced admission applies to eligible students under 25, seniors aged 65 or over, people with reduced mobility and their companions, and unemployed visitors, subject to proof. Groups of 10 or more require free registration, and the maximum group size is 25.
Planning your visit
Imperial Treasury, also indexed as Kaiserliche Schatzkammer Wien and Schatzkammer Wien, occupies the Schweizerhof (Swiss Wing) of the Hofburg at Schweizerhof, Hofburg, 1010 Wien. Its Secular and Ecclesiastical Treasury displays the Imperial Regalia (Reichskleinodien), including the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire, the Imperial Crown of Austria, and the Holy Lance.
Highlights linked to the Habsburg dynasty include the ceremonial treasures of the Order of the Golden Fleece, the Ainkhürn (Narwhal tusk), and the Agate Bowl (Holy Grail). These objects are presented across the secular and ecclesiastical collections, so a short visit should focus on the crowns, regalia, and major relics first.
The venue is open Wednesday to Monday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with admission until 30 minutes before closing; Tuesday is normally among the closing days listed under opening hours and closing days. Herrengasse U-Bahn U3 is a practical metro connection, while Stephansplatz U-Bahn station is another central option within walking distance of the Hofburg.
An Imperial Treasury admission ticket uses a reserved entry time slot, and an audio guide in English adds object-by-object context without a hosted visit. A guided tour booking suits visitors who want live interpretation, while a KHM Vienna combined ticket links the visit with Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM). Vienna Pass admission may suit pass holders, and wheelchair accessibility is supported through a step-free main entrance, an elevator to the galleries, and accessible facilities.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Reserved time slots are required for admission, so arriving outside the booked slot can create an access problem even when the ticket is valid.
- A skip-the-line ticket does not necessarily bypass Hofburg security screening; allow extra time for any required bag or visitor checks.
- The official Audio Guide Group p.p. (groups of 10 or more) option is restricted to groups of at least 10 people and is not a standard individual admission ticket.
- Partner options show limited availability, so the advertised choice may disappear for popular entry times or last-minute bookings.
- Combo tickets include additional attractions, but they are not the simplest choice if you only want to visit Imperial Treasury; confirm every included venue before paying.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Can I use a mobile ticket, and do I need a time slot?
Yes. Online tickets are sent by email and Imperial Treasury admission uses a selected date and time slot; the ticket allows one entry, but there is no time limit once you are inside.
Can I cancel or get a refund if my plans change?
Do not assume cancellation is included. Imperial Treasury tickets are tied to the selected visit date and time, so confirm the refund and cancellation terms for the exact product before paying.
Should I buy from the official seller or a partner?
The official-seller option is "Audio Guide Group p.p. (groups of 10 or more)", while partner choices include admission, combo, and private guided products. Choose the partner product only when its included access and guidance match your plans, and review the final checkout terms.
What bags can I bring, and does a time slot bypass security or bag checks?
Backpacks, umbrellas, outerwear and other items may need to be left at the cloakroom or placed in lockers; large luggage is not accepted for cloakroom storage. A reserved time slot controls admission timing but does not guarantee immediate passage through cloakroom or visitor-service checks.
What happens if I arrive late for my entry time?
The ticket is valid for the selected date and time, but late-entry acceptance is not guaranteed. If you are delayed, contact the seller or ticket office before the slot rather than relying on entry after the scheduled time.
Do children and young visitors need a ticket?
Children and young people under 19 enter free and do not need a ticket when booking online. Reduced admission is available for eligible students under 25, seniors aged 65 or over, unemployed visitors, and visitors with reduced mobility and their companions; qualifying visitors should bring the required proof.
What is the main bottleneck inside Imperial Treasury?
The most practical constraint is the reserved entry time, followed by cloakroom handling for bags and umbrellas. The galleries themselves do not impose a time limit, so the key is reaching the entrance with the correct slot and allowing time for items that must be stored.
