Does the Vienna Pass truly allow you to skip the ticket line and gain entry to sights like the Hofburg Imperial apartments, the Spanish Riding School morning practice the Vienna Opera House tour? Or are you better off doing buying tickets separately and getting the timed entries. My concern is not so much the cost... it is avoiding ticket lines. We will be there for two days only in early September 2026. Arriving Monday, leaving Thursday. So time is of the essence. I have read all other comments and would appreciate current input.

If you go the the Vienna Pass website, it gives instructions on how to book timed entries at the various sites.

IMHO, I don't think the Vienna Pass pays off. You cannot visit so many sights in a short time. Additionally you are bound to the bus schedules and routes of the Hop On/Off busses, which will cost you more time than waiting in queue (not likely anyway). You have much more flexibility when using public transport.
