Museums & Art

Where Viennese themselves go
and what can only be found in Vienna

This is a growing collection of Viennese addresses that we ourselves enjoy visiting and have been recommending to our guests for years. The collection begins with restaurants and traditional inns – classics and personal favorites from our daily tours. In the coming months, museums, hotels, shops, cafés, and Heurige (traditional wine taverns) will be added.

Should you wish to discover Vienna more deeply or have your stay planned comprehensively, we would be pleased to advise you personally and put together a complete program.
