Installations by international

In 2024, international artists will once again present new and unique light installations at Illumina, most of which will be on display in Austria for the first time. Visitors can once again expect an unforgettable light experience on the three-kilometre circular route with its annually changing light attractions.

From 10.01.-12.01.

Free shuttle bus service from parking lot P3 to 300m in front of the main entrance and back for all holders of a ticket for the Garden of Lights. The low-floor bus runs at intervals of 7-10 minutes between 5 and 10 pm and takes wheelchairs and baby carriages.

Friday to Sunday with shuttle bus from Vienna

For a car-free journey, this year we are offering a shuttle bus from Vienna and back. The comfortable shuttle bus will take you and your family (baby carriages are transported in the bus interior) directly to the entrance of the castle park.

The tickets in combination with coach travel are valid as Flex Tickets on the selected day and can also be redeemed on sold-out days or slot times.

Take advantage of the convenient and environmentally friendly travel option! Always from Friday to Sunday.

Culinary delights for every taste

Visitors can recharge their batteries for the circular route in our two catering zones along the way. The cooperation with well-known food trucks and suppliers from the region offers a wide range of food and drinks. From traditional delicacies and sweet treats to veggie and vegan options, there is something for everyone. Punch and co. warm you up and invite you to linger in our magical world of lights.

Monday and Thursday* are our family days

Da Kinderaugen bei uns im Lichtergarten besonders hell leuchten, bieten wir für Familien ein vergünstigtes Kombiticket (2 Erwachsene und bis zu 3 Kinder (6-14 Jahre), Kinder bis 5 Jahre sind immer gratis) an. Jeden Montag & Donnerstag (nur außerhalb der Ferien!) ist Familientag bei Illumina.

In order to improve the visitor experience, we have reduced the individual slots and the number of daily visitors compared to previous years. There is therefore a limited capacity with timed entry. It is best to book now to secure the date and time of your choice.
