The Weimar Card (WeimArcard) offers excellent value for visitors planning to see multiple attractions. Available in 24-hour (€17) and 48-hour (€32.50) versions, providing the following benefits:
The card pays for itself if you visit 2-3 major attractions. Purchase at Tourist Information (Markt 10), hotels, train station, or order online in advance. Validate the card when first used - validity period begins then. The card is personal and non-transferable.
Cost-benefit example: Goethe House (€12.50) + Bauhaus Museum (€11) + Anna Amalia Library (€10) + 2-day bus pass (€11) = €44.50 value for €32.50 card price.
