Karmel Mayerling: Day Ticket
About this experience
Karmel Mayerling is the former hunting lodge of Crown Prince Rudolf, and the location of an infamous Austrian tragedy. On January 30, 1889, the Crown Prince and his mistress, Mary Vetsera, died in an apparent suicide pact – an incident that changed Austria forever.
With this day ticket to Karmel Mayerling, which was converted into a Carmelite monastery by Emperor Franz Josef I, you can delve into this sad tale and see authentic artifacts. The site of the incident is in the exact spot where the church alter sits.
Read the farewell letters of Mary Vetsera and learn about the history of the Habsburgs. Audio guides can also be purchased at the monastery for a small fee, and money from these tours directly helps the Carmelite nuns in their work.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
