The Albertina not only has the largest and most valuable graphical collections in the world, with works such as Dürer's "Hare" and Klimt's studies of women. Its latest exhibition collection presents masterpieces of the Modern, spanning Monet to Picasso and Baselitz. As the largest Hapsburg residential palace, the Albertina dominates the southern tip of the Imperial Palace on one of the last remaining fortress walls in Vienna.

Interested in whimsical architecture? Then go and see the Hundertwasser House (Kegelgasse/Löwengasse) - a "somewhat different" council house. More of this eccentric building style can be seen in the nearby KunstHausWien (with a permanent Hundertwasser exhibition).
The House of Music (1st district, Seilerstätte 30) is imaginative and unconventional; it presents musical highlights and visions, history and entertainment, according to the motto: "Your ears will be amazed."

Friends of classical or modern art can make a selection from many - for instance, the Museum of Fine Arts (Maria-Theresien-Platz) with its great collection of the old masters, in particular the Bruegel Room.

Vienna's MuseumsQuartier is a spectacular cultural complex located on the fringe of Vienna's old city and one of the world's nine largest museum districts. It is a sensational blend of revitalized baroque architecture (the former court stables) and impressive modern edifices.
The new cultural district comprises the chalk-white Leopold Museum in the new section, the Museum of Modern Art shrouded in dark-grey basalt, the Kunsthalle , Halls E und G (Vienna Festival, Dance Centre), the Architektur Zentrum Wien (Vienna Architecture Centre), the Zoom Children's Museum , the Dschungel - a children's theatre and experimental areas for cultural initiatives.

Dip into Vienna’s young and creative scene – the gamut runs from interesting shopping offers to trendy art and a lively nightlife.

The city's old building stock, which was barely damaged during the war, has been carefully renovated and modernised. Now there are many lovely streets with the charm of ages past which can be explored during the daytime or in the evenings - apart from the 1st district, especially the 7th ( Spittelberg Quarter ) and the 8th (Josefstadt) can be recommended.

The Central Cemetery with its honorary tombs for numerous prominent artists and politicians and with its Art Nouveau church is a special kind of "museum".
