Natural History Museum
With more than 30 million artefacts and about 560,000 visitors every year, the National History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum) will take you on a journey through time. From precious stones, minerals and meteorites to rare fossils, dinosaur skeletons and a 29,500-year-old Venus of Willendorf, there's something for everyone to see here. Even the elaborate, ornate interior of the museum itself is something to marvel at. With both permanent and temporary exhibitions, and a brand-new planetarium, it's all too easy to spend an entire day here.

Art History Museum
Directly opposite the Natural History Museum lies Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna's Art History Museum. The two buildings share similar exterior, and were opened around the same time in 1891.  The largest art museum in Austria, the majority of permanent art here once belonged to the Habsburgs. Popular exhibitions include the Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection, the Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities, the Collection of Sculpture of Decorative Arts, the Coin Cabinet and the Library. There are many notable works by Caravaggio and Pieter Bruegel the Elder housed here too.

Albertina

Over one million prints and 65,000 drawings call this museum in Vienna home, and it doesn't stop there. You will even find Austrian vintage photography and sketches from Renaissance architects here.

Belvedere Palace
Consisting of two Baroque palaces (the Upper and Lower Belvedere) constructed by Baroque architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt, and the Orangery and the Palace Stables, the grand Belvedere Palace is absolutely breath-taking. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, visitors can explore the grounds, view some of the finest Austrian art from the Middle Ages right up to the present day and enjoy the wide variety of temporary exhibitions found in the Lower Belvedere and the specially adapted Orangery. The Belvedere is also home to the world's largest collection of paintings by Gustav Klimt. Found in the exhibition titled Vienna 1880 - 1914, fans of the Austrian symbolist painter can view some of his finest works, including The Kiss and Judith I.

Hofburg Imperial Palace
First built in the 13th century, the Hofburg Imperial Palace has experienced multiple expansions to become one of the biggest palace complexes in the world. Known for being the political centre of the monarchy right up until 1918, it is a must-see for anyone intrigued by Vienna's imperial past.  Visitors today can explore numerous areas of the Imperial Palace, including the Imperial Apartments and the Imperial Treasury. The treasury is home to the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Austrian Imperial Crown, as well as what is believed to be the Holy Grail.

Third Man Museum
Something a little bit different, the Third Man Museum is dedicated to the 1949 British film of the same name - The Third Man. Set in Vienna straight after World War II, it reveals a darker time for the city, one which is a far cry from the elegant, creative Vienna we see today. Starring Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten and Alida Valli, the film is based around the investigation of a mysterious death. At the museum, visitors will find original artefacts from the film that range from signed photos and newspaper cuttings to a zither used to create the melody.
