Destination: Austria: Vienna
Overview Text Size A A A
Vienna has more than 100 museums and monuments—from imperial collections to cutting-edge contemporary displays—and it’s impossible to see more than a fraction during a single visit. My advice would be to tour a few well-chosen sights in depth instead of cramming in numerous sights. The Hofburg complex, for instance, contains several museums, chapels and staterooms, including the Treasury and stunning National Library, and it deserves at least a half day of touring.
To help guide you through the city’s immense offerings, we are highlighting some sightseeing musts, but the list is personal and will grow over time as members and contributors travel to the Austrian capital and share their discoveries.
Here are some Indagare favorites:- For children: Zoom Kindermuseum
- For imperial history: Schönbrunn
- For Baroque Vienna: Liechtenstein
- For Belle Epoque Vienna: Belvedere
- For design buffs: Museum of Applied Arts
- For the contemporary scene: MuseumsQuartier
- Not to miss on a first visit: Hofburg
- Not to miss on a second visit: Dorotheum
- To discover on a tenth visit: Kirche am Steinhof
