Affiliate disclosure: how I earn
I take part in the GetYourGuide affiliate programme. Book one of the six listings through a link on this site and GetYourGuide pays me a commission out of their side of the transaction. You pay the platform’s price either way, and never a cent more for having come through here.
Where the links are
Every tour card, every availability widget and every check-availability button on the site. They open in a new tab. No operator has paid to appear here, none has seen a page before it went up, and none has any say in what these pages say. The castle itself has no arrangement with me of any kind. The six listings.
The unusual part: the castle’s own ticket is one of them
On most sites like this one the attraction’s own admission is not sold on the platform at all, and the affiliate links are for boat trips past it. Here the flagship listing is the castle’s own admission, sold at the same figure the castle’s own shop asks and two euros under the price at the door. So I do earn a commission on the thing this site is named after, and you should know that while reading me recommend it. Two things keep it honest. The castle’s published rates are reproduced on tickets and rates so you can see for yourself that the platform figure is the castle’s own and not a mark-up. And no page here claims that buying ahead saves you a queue, because it does not: what it saves is two euros and the right to cancel. The ticket, reviewed.
What the commission does not change
It does not change which listings appear, what each one is, or what the ratings say. The card page tells a visitor whose only museum is Ambras to buy the cheaper thing, and tells anybody holding the card not to buy the castle ticket on top of it, because the card already carries one Ambras admission. The cable car review carries the reviewer who thought it expensive for a cable car. The crystal museum review says that the return shuttle fills up and that one reviewer stood the whole way back. The old town walk review opens by saying its rating rests on sixty-seven ratings, which is the thinnest base on the site. None of that is good for commission and all of it is true.
Prices and counts move
Prices in my copy are spoken approximations, read off the listings when the site was last built, and the live widget on the page is the figure to trust wherever the two differ. Rating counts above a hundred are written open-ended for the same reason. The castle’s own tariff is its published 2026 figure and is printed once. Corrections go to contact, and what this site is and who writes it is on about.
