If you're planning to spend one, two or three busy days in Salzburg exploring its museums, it’s highly advisable to buy the Salzburg Tourist Card. This card grants free entry to most attractions in the city and allows complimentary use of public transport. With the card, you can bypass long lines and enter many museums without waiting at the ticket counter. Holders of the Tourist Card can also enjoy discounted tickets for daily tourist concerts; some city hotels offer a 10% discount on tickets purchased with a 48-hour or 72-hour Tourist Card.
The Salzburg Card is a pass that provides access to various tourist attractions in Salzburg. The prices for the card are listed below:

If you intend to use public transportation, you must fill out the card with the date, time and your name before boarding. You can buy the Salzburg Card at your hotel or at the tourist information offices at the train station and Mozartplatz. I recommend buying it online from the Website of the Salzburg Tourist Office so you can have it on your smartphone.
It is essential to consider the time of year, as not all attractions are open year-round due to seasonal closures for maintenance and revisions.
