Schönbrunn Palace

The Habsburg empire's summer residence — a 1,441-room Baroque palace with the world's oldest zoo (founded 1752), manicured gardens, a triumphal arch, and a hilltop Gloriette offering Vienna's finest city panorama. The Grand Tour of 40 Imperial rooms is the must-see ticket.

🏛️

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.
