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.

Hofburg Imperial Palace

The Imperial Palace was the residence of the Habsburg emperor until 1918. From the 13th century until just before the end of the monarchy, the area was fitted out in imperial splendour within its present-day size. The original Gothic building around today’s Schweizerhof was extended on a continuous basis, resulting in an extensive building complex formed of different sections, which contributes an essential character to the appearance of Vienna's Old City. Europe’s largest imperial cultural complex today houses more than two dozen collections of international standing, including the Austrian National Library, the Imperial Treasury, the Imperial Apartments and the Sisi Museum, as well as the Spanish Riding School.

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.

Danube Tower

The Danube Tower offers an unforgettable view of Vienna’s Danube landscape, the Old City and the Vienna Woods from a height of 170 metres. The two express elevators take visitors to the viewing terrace and the two revolving cafe/restaurants in just 35 seconds. The Danube Tower was built in 1964 for the Vienna International Garden Festival, which is remembered today in the Danube Park. Large meadows, extensive jogging paths, children’s play areas and flowerbeds offer a relaxing space for visitors.
