Belvedere Palace & Museum

Two Baroque palaces in formal gardens housing the finest collection of Austrian art — the Upper Belvedere contains Klimt's 'The Kiss' and Schiele's collection; the Lower Belvedere holds a mirror hall and museum of medieval art. The golden Klimt room is unmissable.

🏛️

Kunsthistorisches Museum

One of the world's great art museums — the Imperial collection of Raphael, Titian, Vermeer, Bruegel, Caravaggio, and Velázquez in a palatial 1891 building facing the Natural History Museum. The coffered main hall with a Canova-decorated staircase is one of Europe's great museum interiors.

🏛️

Vienna State Opera

One of the world's leading opera houses — a Neo-Renaissance building on the Ringstraße that has staged world premieres and hosted the greatest conductors and singers since 1869. Standing tickets (Stehplätze) cost €4 and are sold 80 minutes before curtain; the best-value ticket in Vienna's cultural life.
