Tickets and reservations
57 items in total, 7 not yet done. One card per item, grouped by the day it is used; items already bought or booked are collapsed. The status is changed by the session that helps you buy tickets. This site only displays; it does not place orders for you. Prices and time slots are as of the day they were looked up; before ordering, go by the ticket page. Phone numbers and message drafts are under People to contact. What to do if you miss a train, how to add seat reservations, luggage, and how to buy each day in the Lake District: see Ticket notes.

Transport tickets Bought IC 742 Wien Hbf → Bad Ischl (change to REX at Attnang, change to the SV170 bus at Gmunden)

- Where
- What actually happened on 10-27: 17:57 IC 744, Wien Hbf platform 7 (Transitous, checked at 17:40; go by the big board at the station), 4 seat reservations in car 15 (111, 112, 115, 116, added on 10-27 at 14:15, €12); change at Attnang on 19:58 to R 3432 at 20:08, change at Gmunden to the SV170 bus at 20:28, arrive Bad Ischl 21:21
Bought: a friend bought it in the app (you said on 10-27 "today's ticket was bought by a friend in the app", and that counts the 16:57 one); the ticket is on the friend's phone, the 4 of us board together and the friend shows it at the ticket check, and everyone brings a passport
Backup: the 12-digit pickup code in the confirmation, print a paper ticket at an ÖBB ticket machine or counter at Wien Hbf, with photo ID
If seats are not reserved you can book them separately (choose seat reservation only, €3 per person)
Direct web link for 16:57 ↗ - What if you miss it
- Go by the ticket; both cases are written out. Sparschiene: if you miss the train yourself, the ticket is void and you must buy another (a standard ticket, which can be bought up to 1 minute before departure); if IC 742 is late and you miss the REX 70 or SV170: no need to rebuy, take the next workable service and ask the conductor, station staff or ÖBB customer service 05-1717 to confirm, screenshot the delay in Scotty, and a delay certificate can be requested within 7 days; the ticket page also lists REX 70 and SV170 as "cannot be exchanged", so play it safe and treat any miss of your own as void. Standard ticket (FLEX): any train from 10-27 to 10-28, if you miss one just take the next, no formalities. A seat reservation is only for the train booked, so the seat fee (€3 per person) is wasted if you change trains. Ticket notes →
- Place
- Bad Ischl train station (bus terminal)
- Notes
- The user said on 10-24 that it is already bought.
The ticket type (Sparschiene or FLEX) is still to be confirmed by the user; whether seat reservations were added is also still to be confirmed. Scotty marks this train "seat guaranteed only with a reservation".
The changes are only 7 minutes (Attnang) and 4 minutes (Gmunden, to the bus). Passenger names are spelled as on the passport; show your passport together with the ticket at the ticket check.
Alternative trains (the timetable if you miss it): 17:28 RJX to Salzburg, change to the 150 bus, arriving 21:29; 17:57 IC 744, arriving 21:21; the ticket types differ, and for whether you can switch see "What if you miss it" and the "Ticket notes" page. After arriving at 20:00 there is no bus to the lodging; take a taxi or make your own way.
Seat reservations: if not booked you can add them in the ÖBB app (choose the same train, tap More under "Best price", choose Ticket already exists, reserve a seat only, €3 per person); the official site does not say whether the IC has a seat map, so check whether the reservation page shows "Zur Sitzplatzauswahl".

ÖBB site: you can book on the spot or in advance, with the duration chosen in the order; the official site does not say the maximum storage time. Payment: the hauptbahnhofcity.oebb.at page says "contactless bank cards only (Bankomatzahlung)" and does not mention cash; if you book online, you pay online (my inference, not tried).
The pickup code is sent to your e-mail. Locker sizes (inside, height × width × depth): M 23, L 47, XL 71, width 41, depth 62 cm.
A small suitcase lying flat needs width ≤41 and length ≤62; two stacked with a total height ≤47 cm go in one L, otherwise use an XL, or one locker each. Fallback: there is no staffed luggage storage in the station; if full, use a Stasher partner (places lists the Schweizer Garden hotel, about a 5-minute walk, not rechecked).

Transport tickets Buy on site Buses (changed 10-28: 150 Bad Ischl → St. Gilgen; return St. Wolfgang 546 + 150)
- Deadline
- Before boarding
- Price
- Freizeit-Ticket: €26.50 on the OÖVV fares page (read 10-25), €24.90 on the FAQ page; go by what is shown when you buy. Single tickets (OÖVV official lookup, 10-24): Bad Ischl station → St. Wolfgang Markt €6.20; St. Gilgen bus stop → Bad Ischl station €7.10 (the lookup was Bad Ischl → St. Gilgen, and the reverse is assumed to cost the same). €13.30 per person in total, €53.20 for 4 people. Or one Freizeit-Ticket OÖ at €26.50, shared by 2 adults, 2 tickets for 4 people €53.00.
- Where
- Simplest: when boarding the 150, tell the driver "Zwei Freizeit-Tickets, bitte." The OÖVV FAQ says you can buy straight on regional buses; you usually pay cash on board, so have about €55
wegfinder app: choose Oberösterreich → weitere Tickets → Freizeit-Ticket → skip the discount code → create an account, confirm the e-mail → choose payment (steps from the tourist board site) ↗
OÖVV Ticket App (official; buy before boarding; tickets bought online are in your name, so bring your passport) ↗

Buy from the driver on board (cash only; have coins and small notes, the driver's change is limited) - What if you miss it
- The OÖVV single-ticket terms say "for immediate departure" and do not say how long it is valid or whether it can be changed: buy right before boarding, not too early; if you miss it, buy another. The Freizeit-Ticket is unlimited from 09:00 that day to 03:00 the next day, so missing a bus costs nothing. If you miss the 18:34 150: there is one every 30 minutes (:04, :34; day page). Ticket notes →
- Place
- St. Wolfgang town
- Notes
- Recommended default: buy 2 Freizeit-Tickets (valid from 09:00, so the 09:24 bus is just right; the whole group travels together, so sharing one between 2 people is fine).
Reason: the price is almost the same (€53.00 vs €53.20), but there is only one code, no need to buy each time, and an extra ride (such as the 150 to Fuschl) costs nothing more.
The OÖVV official route table (read 10-25) lists the 150 as Bad Ischl station → Koppl, and the section from St. Gilgen back to Bad Ischl can use it too; this day ticket can also be bought in the ÖBB Tickets app.
The reason to choose single tickets would be not having 2 people tied together, which doesn't matter this day.
Ferries and cable cars are not included in the Freizeit ticket.
No ticket is needed to get to Bad Ischl station.
Schools are on holiday; recheck the services in ÖBB Scotty the day before.

If the boat is cancelled: 546 at 11:32 → Strobl 11:41, change to 150 at 11:45 → St. Gilgen 11:59, 14 minutes later than the boat, and it saves €11.80. Ticket notes →

- Gosausee (front lake to back lake)
- Notes
- Recommended default (changed 10-29 01:47, D-60): buy 2 Freizeit-Tickets.
Reason: the 541 runs after 09:00, so the day ticket is valid; the 4 of us travel together all day, so sharing one between 2 people is fine; it saves about €30 over single tickets, and costs nothing more whether or not we go to Hallstatt.
When the plan was to leave early and walk separately, single tickets were recommended (see git history).
Tickets bought in the app are in your name, so bring your passport.

- Changed 10-29 10:24: after missing the planned 541, we are no longer going to Hallstatt (D-61), so no booking is needed.
Before that (D-60): Hallstatt in the evening became optional (second plan, decided only at Gosaumühle at 17:17); if you want to go, call to book before leaving, and if unsure don't book and just go to Bräugasthof when you arrive.
The opening hours page says 11:30–14:30 and 18:00–21:30; the tourist board listing says hot food until 20:30, open on Thursday.
Hallstatt has few dinner options: Muk's closes at 17:00, and Zum Bader is closed Wednesday and Thursday.
Fallback: Bräugasthof Hallstatt (phone, the page also says to reserve; closed Wednesday, open Thursday).
When 10-28 and 10-29 are swapped so Hallstatt falls on Wednesday, Bräugasthof is closed, leaving only Seewirt.

- On 10-30 at 23:32 the user said they got back without buying a transport ticket and would buy one tomorrow morning (D-73); the plan was to buy it at 09:40.
On 10-31 at 11:35 the user said that if it is not far they would walk or buy a single ticket (D-74), and also did not buy one in the morning. D-74 recommended walking in the daytime and buying a full-trip ticket in the evening; at 13:48 the user said walking between the two climbing gyms is too far and the last day should be easy, and "if I only thought about saving money, that would be wrong", and at 13:51 said they had bought the 24-hour ticket (D-75).
The math: a 24-hour ticket €9.70 plus the airport-section top-up €2.30 is €12.00; two single rides in the afternoon (€3.00 each) plus the full-trip ticket come to about €11.50, only €0.50 less, and with the 24-hour ticket you can ride freely and avoid long walks. The ticket is tied to one person; bring your passport.
Prices: the 24-hour ticket is from wienerlinien.at (since 2026-01-01); the single €3.00 and full-trip €5.50 are from news and wien.info and were not checked on the official site.

- A ticket bought on site is not tied to a train: if you miss 22:42 and 22:53, take the last train, 23:53 REX → 00:15. If all trains are missed: at Wien Hauptbahnhof Süd (south side of the main station) take the VAB 1 airport bus, 23:15 → 23:40, or 03:15 → 03:40 and 03:45 → 04:10 on 11-01 (Transitous checked 10-31 13:50); the bus does not accept the Vienna city ticket, and a single costs about €11 (third-party figure, official price not found). On Saturday night the U1 runs all night. Ticket notes →

- The D-74 plan to "buy a full-trip ticket Wien Friedensbrücke → airport in the evening" has been replaced by D-75: the user said on 10-31 at 13:51 that the 24-hour ticket was bought, so only the airport section is topped up. Since 2026-09-07 the S7 only runs to St. Marx and does not stop at Wien Mitte or Rennweg; REX 7 and Railjet still run Hbf ↔ airport as usual; the CAT has been replaced by a bus between Wien Mitte and the airport (wien.info, read 10-31).
When searching trips from Hannovergasse, the routing recommends the CAT bus or FlixBus, both more expensive than the REX, so we do not take them.

- On 10-31 at 11:35 the user changed the plan to go to the climbing gym after lunch with free churches in between; the time for Plan B (museum in the morning) has passed, so do not buy (D-74). On 10-30 at 23:32 the user said they wanted to spend less and just wander through a museum or church; for 10-31 the recommendation became a free morning walk in the old town, with the Kunsthistorisches Museum optional (D-73); if you want to see Monet, go to the Albertina instead (there is no Monet or Van Gogh here). Official site (read 10-24): since 2026-09-08 entry is only with a timed reservation, one entry with unlimited stay; tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded, so first ask how many people are going before buying. The ticket page has a "students (University/College)" rate of €19; bring a student ID and passport, they check at the entrance.
Free for under 19, register at the entrance. The museum has a free cloakroom and lockers (coats, bags) but no luggage storage, so do not bring big suitcases.

Why this one: the official home page says 1400 m² of floor space (Grundfläche), open Sat 07:30–22:00, and the home page shows no special event on 10-31.
Address Schloßgasse 10-12, 1050 Wien; about 27′ walk from Hbf, or take the 13A to Leibenfrostgasse and walk 7′.
There are lockers; leave the carry-on bag here.
Bring your own climbing shoes, do not rent (old system D-106; the user said it again on 10-31 at 11:35).

On 10-31 only this gym holds the Team Spirit Halloween team competition: people who sign up are put into random teams (up to 5 per team), and you can sign up alone; those who come in Halloween costume are placed in teams first and the team gets 5 points; difficulty levels 1–5 (5A–7A+) are chosen by each person. Not stated: whether signing up costs extra, whether people not in the competition can climb as usual, and when it ends; ask at the front desk.
31.10 is also this gym's route-changing day (Schraubtag). From the old town: take the 17:10 U4 from Schwedenplatz to Friedensbrücke, then walk 13′; to go back to Hbf, leave at 21:51, U4 + U1, arrive 22:21.

It was originally the recommended default for the easy version of 10-31 (D-67). On 10-27 the Upper Belvedere was originally planned for 4 people at 12:00 (bk-1027-belvedere), and the log says "12:16 tram O to the Belvedere" at midday on 10-27, but whether we actually went was not recorded: if you have been, do not buy again, and in the afternoon sit longer at Café Sperl instead, or go up to the dome platform in Karlskirche.

- On 10-30 at 18:36 the user said they want an easier day tomorrow (sleeping at the airport in the evening), so no Schönbrunn Palace on the afternoon of 10-31 (D-67). The official home page says: palace 08:30–17:30, garden 06:30–19:00 and free; real tickets are only sold online at imperialtickets.com, so do not buy from other sites (the official site warns about fake sites). The palace interior has fixed entry times (from the places record; I did not open the booking page to check the 10-31 slots); the student price comes from the previous round of official-site notes, the home page only lists adult and child prices, so check when ordering. Whether to go inside the palace is up to you: just walking the garden, the outside of the Gloriette and the views is fine without a ticket.

D-73 said this gym "has a Halloween event on 10-31", which is wrong: the event page (read 10-31 at 11:3x) states that Team Spirit Halloween Edition is only at Hannovergasse (bk-1031-hannovergasse), and this gym has no event on 10-31. From 10-31 at 11:39 this is the alternative plan for the evening (D-74): if you do not want to join the team competition, or are tired, come here; after climbing it is about a 10′ walk to Hbf to take the REX, which is the least hassle.

- On 10-30 at 19:12 the user said the companions go to Swarovski in the morning, return to the hostel for the suitcases, and go to the airport in the morning (D-71), so no storage is needed.
The day page originally said to put them in a Hbf locker at 09:10 and pick them up at 13:52.
Recommended default: if the front desk can store them, leave them at the lodging's front desk; if not, use the Hbf lockers.
The earlier version written for the hotel first planned (its official site says free storage is possible) no longer applies.

- Carry-on bag only; sleeping at the airport. Ryanair online check-in is open until 2 hours before departure (05:45); after that, check-in is only at the desk, for an extra fee.
Non-EU/EEA passports must first get a stamp at the Ryanair Visa/Document check desk before security; without the stamp you cannot board and get no refund; the desk opens at least 2 hours before departure and closes at 07:05 (40 minutes before departure); for some nationalities, passport verification can be done during check-in in the app, and if it passes you do not need to go to the desk (Ryanair Help Centre, main session's search summary on 10-31 at 13:5x; the help page returned 403 and I did not read it directly).
Gate closes at 07:15 (old note, not rechecked).
Terminal: a third party says check-in at T1, security and boarding at T3 (a 2021 account); go by the boarding pass (D-75).
