20 Best Things to Do in Vienna, Austria

test

@afar

"Explore Vienna's premier art museum The Habsburgs were, generally speaking, lovers of art and many of the works of the Kunsthistorisches Museum come from their collections. While the grandiose interior alone may be reason enough to visit, the collections here are outstanding. The Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection, Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities and Coin Library are just a few of the collections to get lost inside. The Picture Gallery includes works by Albrecht Dürer, Jan van Eyck, Pieter Brueghel the Elder and Peter Paul Rubens."

The building itself is a work of art, with grand architecture and beautifully decorated interiors. The collection is vast and impressive, its masterpieces from famous artists like Rembrandt, Rubens, and Velázquez, alongside fascinating historical artifacts from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The day we went they had special event for Rembrandt’s show. We spent hours exploring and still feel there’s more to see. The museum is well-organized, making it easy to navigate, and there’s plenty of information in English. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Vienna!

Be sure to visit. A delightful and luxurious museum! The most gorgeous architecture both inside and outside the museum. The museum contains paintings and sculptures, vases from different eras. Each exhibition was incredibly impressive. With the Vienna Pass there was no need to stand in queue.

I absolutely loved visiting this museum! I got tickets from the ticket booth with no lines! I recommend spending a few hours as you’ll see a lot of paintings, beautiful artifacts and lots of history as you walk around! If you had to pick one museum to do, I highly recommend it when visiting Vienna!

If you’re in Vienna for only one day, add this amazing museum to your itinerary! The first floor offers a diverse range of exhibitions (Greek, Egyptian, Viennese), whereas the second floor is an art lover’s paradise. You’ll need about 3-4 hours to cover the entire museum (admittedly, we never reached the exhibition of ancient coins on the 3rd floor as we were running late to another booking). We will definitely be back, as the paintings truly warrant slow admiration in order to take in all the details and informations posted.

This was an amazing experience! I recommend that you bring a good camera with lots of space, water and comfortable shoes. You will definitely need a whole day to complete it. Luckily, there are comfortable chairs in almost all rooms for you to sit and enjoy the paintings/art. Food was expensive for the amount, and the service in the restaurant was not as great because when I asked to pay, my waiter took 20 minutes to come to me after ignoring me a few times of calling him.

I don't think I will ever forget this museum it was one of the highlights of our trip to Vienna. From the moment we stepped into the grand entrance hall, we were blown away by the opulence of the building itself, which was competing with the amazing range of exhibits for star of the show all the way through. In the final analysis, I decided that it was worthy of 1st place. There are exhibits spanking all the ages from ancient Egypt to the recent past. If you visit one museum in Vienna, it should be this one or its twin companion opposite focused on natural history if you prefer those types of exhibits. The coffee shop is unique in itself and a must visit while in the museum.

Lovely museum. The painting and artifacts are in separate areas, so you can explore for awhile. Everything is grandiose, to the ceilings, and columns, to the art. The museum Cafe was also very good. The wait was long at times, so we went to see more and the line was much shorter a half hour later. The food and drinks were delicious. The atmosphere was very elegant. A lot to see - you could be there anywhere from 2 hours to all day.

I recently visited the Kunsthistorisches Museum, and it was a truly rich and amazing experience. The vast collection of sculptures and artifacts is magnificent. The golden designs on the walls and ceilings add a touch of grandeur, highlighting the museum's stunning architecture. This place is a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship, making it a must-see for art lovers.

What a great place to discover on such a beautiful day. Very well maintained and it sits between the two big museums, Kunsthistoriches and Naturalhistorisches. More of an opportunistic visit than a planned one, but a great statue to see nonetheless.

Between the twin museums you will find a statue of the Empress Maria Theresia, a very famous personality of the Austrian history! First woman to access the throne, she supported the arts, reinforced the economy and the military status of the empire. Strong headed, she married for love and had 16 children, the most famous of all being Marie Antoinette (wife of French king Louis XVI and beheaded during the French Revolution).

Located between the Naturalhistorisches & Kunsthistoriches museum. It's a great area that nice for catching up with a coffee or enjoying the weather. It's well maintained and you can walk to Museumquartier which is right across the street.
