The experience

Graz Old Town and the Joanneumsviertel district anchor the Universalmuseum Joanneum network, a collection of permanent exhibitions spanning science, art and culture across multiple locations. The pass unlocks entry to twelve museums and cultural sites throughout Styria, from the armoury's historical weapons and armor to Schloss Eggenberg's rooms and grounds. You move between them at your own speed. There's no guided route, no fixed schedule, and no pressure to see everything in a single day.

The pass works on a time window: you pick 24 hours or 48 hours when you book, and the clock starts when you first use it at any participating site. That means you can spend a morning in one museum, skip the afternoon, and return the next day without losing time. All the major sites are accessible by public transport from the city center, and the whole network is wheelchair accessible. Print your booking confirmation and show it at the cashier to receive your physical pass.

Audio guides in English and German are sold separately at each venue, so if you want narration alongside the collections, budget a small extra cost. The pass itself includes local taxes, and it suits anyone who wants to explore Graz's museums without committing to a guided tour or locking into a single itinerary.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (13 to 18 years); Child (7 to 12 years); Infant (under 7): free.

Can I use my 24-hour pass across two different days, or does it have to be consecutive?

Your pass is valid for a continuous 24-hour or 48-hour window from the moment you first use it at any site, so the hours run consecutively. Once you activate it, the clock does not pause between museums.

What's actually inside Schloss Eggenberg that the pass covers?

Schloss Eggenberg is a palace with period rooms and grounds included in your pass admission. The site holds part of the Universalmuseum Joanneum's permanent collections related to the region's history and culture.

Do I need to book a specific time slot to enter each museum, or can I just show up?

The pass does not require timed entry slots. You show your pass at the cashier or entrance of each site during regular opening hours and walk in. No advance reservation is needed for individual museums.

Is there a guided tour included with the pass, or do I explore on my own?

The pass covers admission only. Guided tours and audio guides are not included and must be purchased separately at each venue if you want them.

Which option should I pick: 24 hours or 48 hours?

Choose 24 hours if you plan to visit two or three museums in a single day. Pick 48 hours if you want to spread your visits across two days or explore more slowly without rushing between sites.
