Austrian National Library
The Austrian National Library is a monument to Habsburg intellectual ambition, centred around its Prunksaal (State Hall). This 80-metre-long Baroque masterpiece, crowned by a dome with Daniel Gran’s fresco of Emperor Charles VI’s apotheosis, houses over 200,000 historic volumes. Leather-bound tomes line wooden shelves and marble statues of Habsburg rulers guard the aisles. Though books are too fragile to handle, their displayed pages reveal exquisite illustrations, and two monumental Venetian globes (one celestial, one terrestrial) anchor the space. Beyond the Prunksaal, the library’s vast collections span 12 million items, with museums dedicated to papyri, maps, and Esperanto. Located in the Neue Burg Wing of the Hofburg Palace, it's not just an archive of centuries of knowledge: it’s a temple to Enlightenment ideals, where every frescoed curve and gilded bookcase whispers of imperial power and the pursuit of knowledge. Allocate time to simply gaze upward.
Spanish Riding School
Founded in 1572, the Spanish Riding School has put on performances in the Baroque Winter Riding School since 1735. These shows represent the highest form of equestrian art: the Spanish Riding School in Vienna is the only institution in the world in which the classic equestrian art has been preserved and practised unchanged since the Renaissance. At the gala shows, visitors can enjoy unique presentations by the Lipizzaner horses in the most beautiful riding hall in the world. The morning session offers an insight into the years of training that the riders and their Lipizzaners go through.
Imperial Treasury
The medieval part of the Imperial Palace, the Schweizerhof, contains the unique treasures of the Habsburgs, including the Austrian imperial crown and the crown jewels of the Holy Roman Empire. Further highlights include the treasure of the Order of the Golden Fleece and the collections of the invaluable Burgundian treasures from the 15th century. Jewels belonging to the Habsburg empresses and pieces of the original jewellery belonging to Empress Elisabeth can also be seen here. You can also discover legendary treasures such as the Holy Lance of the 8th century, the largest cut emerald in the world and the horn of the fantastical unicorn.
MuseumsQuartier
Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier (MQ) is one of the ten largest cultural districts in the world, combining exhibition spaces, cafes, restaurants and bars. At the edge of the Old City, in the former imperial stables, it unites facilities highlighting different fields of art with restaurants, coffeehouses and shops in an area of 90,000 square metres with a combination of Baroque buildings and modern architecture. This has created a colourful and diverse local scene against the backdrop of significant museums and collections. MuseumsQuartier houses MUMOK, Leopold Museum, Kunsthalle Wien, ZOOM Kindermuseum, Tanzquartier, Architekturzentrum Wien, Q21, monochrom and Modepalast.
