VIENNA SIGHTS & ATTRACTIONS
- What to See & Do

History, art and music are the main attractions on offer in Vienna.

It is essential to visit the massive Hofburg complex (the former Imperial Palace) where you can learn about the Habsburg Empire and view the Imperial Apartments, the Silver Collection, the Treasury and more.

Two more palaces worth visiting are Schönbrunn Palace (40 of the 1,411 rooms in the palace and its adjacent buildings are open to the public) and the art museum of Belvedere Palace, where Gustav Klimt's famous painting "The Kiss" is exhibited. More art is on show in Museum of Fine Arts and the Museums Quarter houses large art museums such as the Leopold Museum, the MUMOK (Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna) and also some contemporary exhibition spaces.

Music lovers will enjoy visiting the Vienna State Opera or the House of Music, which houses the Museum of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

For something more quirky, visit the Sigmund Freud Museum, or do some psychoanalysis of your own while enjoying a coffee and some cake in the city’s many cafes.

For an interesting day-trip from Vienna, nearby Bratislava in Slovakia can be reached in less than 1 hour.
