The museum is wonderful and I would definitely buy tickets before hand. The early ticket allows entry at opening time which allows you to view most of the exhibits before the crowds arrive.
Christy_S, Apr 2026
There was no skip the line anything. We had to wait in a huge museum line only to be toldvww had to go exchange our "voucher" fir a real ticket and then had to line up at the ticket booth to do that and then again to get back in the entrance lineup. There was no indication from Viatour that we needed to exchange the voucher. There was no skip the line entrance area. Really annoying and false advertising.
AijenDiana_B, Jan 2026
I dunno if you should really call this a skip-the-line experience when you still have to fall in line to exchange the voucher for a ticket inside the museum. Anyway, the museum and the wonderful café inside made up for this small confusion.
Mary_F, Jan 2026
Did not help us skip any line. Waited in the line only to get to check in and told that we had to go back outside and get paper tickets. Our vouchers did not count as tickets. So waited in three lines.
Lei_W, Dec 2025
Unreasonable checked in, because the online ticket code doesn’t work, I have to change the another code to ticket center, that was unreasonable. Management was messing. There was no clear notice for that.
Richard_B, Dec 2025
Superb museum & really interesting. Took 3.5 hours to walk around. Thoroughly enjoyed it & highly recommend this for any visit to Vienna.
Barbara_M, Dec 2025
You do not skip a line, you have to get in line. Because what you get from Viator is only a voucher. Then, you have to wait in line. To exchange the voucher for a ticket. Just buy a ticket at window, the lines are the same length
Sean_C, Dec 2025
Museum was great. This ticket is a rip off. You don’t skip the line. You have to exchange this ticket for an actual ticket at the museum. Then wait in line.
Deborah_M, Dec 2025
Viator should provide additional instructions about the steps to gain entry with their Skip the Line tickets. When you arrive must go to a special booth to have Museum issue their entry tickets. Only then can you get in line.
Sally_D, Dec 2025
There is no advantage to buying tickets ahead of time with Viator because you still have 2 lines to stand in to get a true ticket and to enter. Loved the museum though!
Michelle_S, Nov 2025
Tickets are misleading, there is no skip the line available, you have to queue. What’s more you have to queue twice, once to change your Viator ticket for a museum ticket and then again to enter the museum. Just get a ticket there, it’s cheaper and and easier
Mja_J, Nov 2025
The museum is very impressive itself, beautiful building and the collection as well! really enjoyed this museum
Mary_D, Nov 2025
“Skip the line” was misleading because the thing we purchased from Viator was actually a voucher, not a ticket. We still had to wait in a line and we did not save a bit of time because of the time we wasted in line to go in and then finding out we were not in possession of tickets, we had to find a line separate from the line to buy tickets to get our vouchers exchanged for tickets. Our friends who had not purchased anything from Viator got in at the same time we did with less hassle.
SzeHon_F, Nov 2025
The voucher will allow you to skip the normal line. You will need to first exchange the ticket with the voucher office. It would be better to purchase the ticket online directly with the official site

This didn't skip any line, you had to stand in line to change the viator ticket to the museum ticket and you still had to stand in line to enter.
Gary_R, Sep 2025
Very interesting, thought it was better than the British museum, collections on Egypt were outstanding
Xenia_R, Sep 2025
Amazing museum, takes about 2 hours minimum. Make sure you exchange your vouchers at the “Group bookings” kiosk outside.
Carole_S, Sep 2025
Museum was beautiful - lots to see. I thought viator sent me the actual ticket but it was only a voucher and I was denied entry until I got the actual ticket. The line for people with vouchers was much smaller than the line for people buying tickets.
MaryAnn_B, Aug 2025
Go early, afternoon became very crowded.
Fantastic art museum, gorgeous architecture with a wonderful little restaurant in a stunning environment. The collection is vast, could have spent several days there.
Evan_H, Aug 2025
It does not skip the line, it makes you go to the line twice, this is not tickets, this is voucher that you can have to go through group ticket line to exchange for ticket
I found it out only when go to the ticket line and was rejected entry and was asked to go to group line AGAIN.
When at group line for tickets, they don't even know what Viator tickets are, the cost for my Viator tickets were $47 and change in USD, if I have not purchased this, I would have spend $42 in EUROS so basically the same.
Again, it does not skip the line, if you believes it it will make you go to the line twice.
btmcart, Jul 2025
Booked skip line tour. Actually second in line got in with a voucher but had to go back to the ticket office and redeem voucher. Ended up in a long line waiting to get in. I recommend just buying tickets directly from the museum. Will go directly to the tour or museum in the future. Unfortunately, I have more vouchers.
Claudia_F, Jul 2025
You don’t save any time by buying through Viator. You still have to go to the ticket window and exchange your voucher for a ticket in order to gain entry. Kind of misleading.
Marion_R, Jun 2025
There is no “Skip the Line” which is very misleading. At the inside museum entry I was directed get in line at the ticket booth/kiosk for a voucher. The lines were long so I queued up like everyone else. Finally I got inside after waiting in line. Your advertising is unethical.
Rashmi_K, May 2025
Beautiful collection and large numbers of items. Loved the museum . We spent four hours just in palace even then not enough. All sections were maintained nicely
Patricia_B, May 2025
The picture gallery has the largest collection of paintings by Peter Brueghel in the world. Many of his major works are here. In addition, there are classic paintings by Klimt on the wall over the main staircase. Ask if you are unable to locate them. The museum also has important works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Durer, Holbein and Velazquez. The Special Exhibit: Nature's Time: Arcembolodo - Bassano - Brueghel was included with the entry ticket.
leilah_H, Apr 2025
I’ve been to many of the premier national galleries in the world. This was not one of them. Staff offered poor service and lines for tickets both on site and purchased online were long and disorganized despite it being a Thursday in the off season. For the small number of top tier paintings, I have difficulty recommending a visit. I was disappointed.
melaniekwoods, Jan 2025
It says skip the line but you have to wait in a huge line to turn the Boucher into tickets and then get in line to get into the museum.. Might as well have gotten the tickets at the place.
Camille_E, Jan 2025
After purchasing the tickets from Viator, I expected that the QR code provided was the entrance ticket already. However, this was not the case and we actually had to line up two times (to claim the ticket and the actual entrance to the museum). There was no reminder that we needed to claim tickets from the booth first. Misleading advertisement since it is claimed as “skip the line”
Elbys_C, Jan 2025
Amazing Museum with beautiful exhibits. However, false advertisement via Viator. The tickets don’t skip the line. In fact, I ended up having to make two lines because I thought I had the passes. Also, additional charges inside for other exhibits. Highly recommended museum, but just be aware that there will be additional charges inside for the best exhibits, and don’t go straight to the entrance. Avoid making two lines like I did and stand on the voucher line that’s outside.

Was very easy to find that access and get ticket. Maybe Vacation4u whole family nice museum, beautiful history.
