The 15 most popular vienna museums tours in Austria. What each one includes, who runs it, and what it costs.
A $25 day ticket to Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum: imperial art, Kunstkammer treasures, and a Klimt-linked staircase in one visit.
“It was an enriching place, discovering all the paintings. Just make sure you exchange your GYG voucher against the actual ticket at the “voucher”’container. We lost 30 mins queuing, went inside to be denied access. Just beware.”

“Loved the audio guide idea. Learned so much about Mozart.”
See Monet-Picasso modern art and Habsburg state rooms at Vienna’s Albertina, with rotating special exhibitions and great value tickets.

Explore Vienna’s Imperial Treasury in the Hofburg Swiss Wing: crown jewels, Habsburg diamonds, and legendary relics for $18.

Step into Freud’s Vienna home at Berggasse 19: private rooms, Anna and Sigmund voice recordings, AR Freud’s Couch, and exile history.

Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna skip-the-line entry that can still mean a voucher exchange, plus world-class art from Egypt to Bruegel and the Kunstkammer.
“I dunno if you should really call this a skip-the-line experience when you still have to fall in line to exchange the voucher for a ticket inside the museum. Anyway, the museum and the wonderful café inside made up for this small confusion.”
Candlelit Mozart chamber concert at Mozarthaus Vienna, with optional museum entry to his last surviving home near Stephansplatz.
“The concert was superb, with three amazing performers full of talent and passion that offered and excellent programme.

Visit Freud’s Vienna home at Berggasse 19 with admission included, an insightful permanent exhibition, 1930s film clips, and a café and shop.
