Tickets and prices

Prices are the DomQuartier’s partial-operation prices, from its ticket page. The Residenzgalerie, the gallery on the route, is closed for building work, and the shop on the third floor is closed. Children from 0 to 6 are free.

• When the gallery reopens the prices return to €15 for adults, €12 reduced, €5 for ages 7 to 25 and €32 for a family. The DomQuartier says autumn 2027.
• The Salzburg Card gets you in free, once.
• Wednesday is Student Day: buy an on-site ticket with a student ID under 26 and you get a free lemonade at Café Kaffee [Kunst], Pfeifergasse 8. The offer does not apply to online tickets.

Where to buy

Buy from the DomQuartier’s shop or the main ticket office on the ground floor, in the passage from the main portal to the inner courtyard. The GetYourGuide day ticket is sold by the DomQuartier itself, at the same €12, and is valid for 15 days; its description still lists the Residenzgalerie.
