Day Trip: Klosterneuburg

An easy, half-day trip outside of Vienna is to visit the small town of Klosterneuburg, home of the renowned Sammlung Essl, a collection of modern and contemporary art. On the way back to Vienna, have lunch or dinner at Restaurant Eckl (Sieveringer Strasse 46; 01-320-32-18; www.restauranteckel.at) a fabulous local spot with a romantic garden setting beneath ancient chestnut trees (expect hearty, well-prepared Austrian fare and local wines).
