Vienna charges no entry permit and no coach tax for tourist buses or minibuses — a full sightseeing day in the city costs €0 in fees. You pay only regular parking. The single exception: four Advent Saturdays before Christmas, when the inner centre requires a day card.
On the four Advent Saturdays (in 2026 expected 28 Nov, 5 Dec, 12 Dec and 19 Dec — the city confirms officially in late October), coaches may enter the centre only with a day card, priced when published. Without the card, groups use drop-off points at Karlsplatz, Vorgartenstraße or the free Pierre-de-Coubertin-Platz bus park and continue by metro — a pattern that works well and costs nothing.
