Vienna · MUSEUMS
On a wet February afternoon a Vienna museum is not a fallback, it is the plan. The 15 below cover the imperial collections, the Leopold and the Albertina, Freud’s consulting rooms and the odd ones, with entry prices and which tickets skip the queue.
Tour Vienna’s Hofburg, Sisi Museum, imperial rooms, courtyards, Spanish Riding School, and gardens with priority entry and a live guide.
“Alex wasn’t an excellent tour guide. His stories and facts helped bring the palace, Sisi, the Hofburgs, and all the sights to life. It’s obvious he went above and beyond. Would highly recommend!”
Explore Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, from Raphael and Rubens to imperial jewels, Egyptian treasures, Klimt’s staircase, and its grand café.
“I would recommend to buy audioguide inside and be ready to spend 4-5 hors or more. The museum is very beautiful and audioguide draw your attention to certain thing that you can miss (just 6 euros more). Remember that your people under 19 years old are free of charge.”
See Monet, Picasso, Klimt, Habsburg state rooms, and changing exhibitions at Vienna’s Albertina Museum with flexible admission.
“So worth it we were so excited to de water lily pond by Monet”
Make three chocolate bars, prepare Aztec hot chocolate, and explore Vienna’s interactive Chocolate Museum in a hands-on 90-minute workshop.
“Great activity! Perhaps a little pricey for what you get from it but we were glad we did it!”
Explore Freud’s Vienna home, practice, family life, archives, rare recordings, Nazi-era history, and an AR version of his famous couch.
“I enjoyed the experience - no improvements at this point”
Explore St. Stephen’s Cathedral, both towers, guided catacombs, and Dom Museum Wien with one flexible Vienna ticket.
“Nice and easy to pick up tickets- as long as you keep an eye on the hours of each excursion included it was a wonderful experience!”
Tour Vienna’s Hofburg, Sisi Museum, imperial apartments, Augustinian Church, and palace courtyards with an engaging local guide.
“This tour was wonderful and I would happily recommend it. Anna, our guide, was so friendly and pleasant, so knowledgeable on the topic and gave a thorough and professional tour, taking into account individual abilities. This was so much better than using an audio guide as you could ask questions and Anna gave lots of hints and tips on other things to do / places to go in the locality. I will definitely book another of tours given by this organisation in the future.”
Explore Vienna’s Museum of Illusions with 70-plus interactive exhibits, family puzzles, gravity tricks, photo rooms, and a flexible $18 ticket.
“I didn’t expect at all to have so much fun in a museum. It is interactive, educational, fun.. I am not sure who had more fun, us parents or kids..”
See Schiele and Klimt masterpieces at Vienna’s Leopold Museum, with skip-the-line entry, special exhibitions, city views, and one-day access.
“It’s a small museum with some highlights such as Klimt. Some good works and interesting early career artwork you don’t always get to see.”
Explore Vienna’s Hofburg, Sisi Museum, Imperial Apartments, courtyards, and Heroes’ Square with skip-the-line entry and an expert guide.
“The tour was fantastic. Michael was the best tour guide ive had and was extremely knowledgeable and interesting.”
Compare Rubens, Rembrandt, Raphael, and imperial crowns in Vienna with one flexible ticket for two remarkable museums.
“Excellent experience at the museum. The section on Paintings was phenomenal and had the most crowds around the 'Tower of Babel'. It's not too difficult to spend a couple of hours at the museum and then be back for more. Word of caution: avoid carrying (if possible) your rucksack, water bottle, or selfie sticks as you will end up having to park those at the cloak room.”
Explore Hundertwasser’s art, bold architecture, and ecological ideas at Vienna’s Kunst Haus Wien, with temporary exhibitions and café time.
“The best museum ever, for a beautiful mind! One of the greatest artists ever lived.”
Review of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna ticket, with Bruegel, Vermeer, Klimt, imperial collections, voucher advice, and practical tips.
“The museum is very impressive itself, beautiful building and the collection as well! really enjoyed this museum”
Tour Vienna’s Sisi Museum, Hofburg Palace, courtyards, and gardens with timed entry, a guide, and a useful introduction to imperial history.
“1) Our guide, Rene, was outstanding in his knowledge and attitude/enthusiasm. He brought history to life with joy, managed the group adeptly and brilliantly, and ensured that we all left better educated. You will be fortunate to get him as your guide! 2) The Sisi museum had wonderful displays and artifacts. Only downside is that it was unnecessarily dark (lack of proper lighting) in much of the exhibitions. Perhaps it was done so for dramatic effect, but it went too far. If you expect to see rooms elegantly, historically furnished you will be grossly disappointed with Hofburg. Except for a couple of rooms left enact, most of the palace has…”
Explore Vienna’s Leopold Museum at your own pace, with Schiele, Klimt, Austrian modernism, special exhibitions, and Hofburg views.
“We were not able to travel because of the Corona-measures and had to cancel our flight, hotel, taxi, parking and all concert and musea tickets. Unfortunately we did not manage to cancel the booking for the Leopold museum, because of internet-issues on the website. We hope that one day we will be allowed and able to travel again and we are looking forward to that. By all means the Leopold museum (and others) will be on our to-visit list.”
