Vienna’s trailblazing MuseumsQuartier is one of the world’s largest cultural districts, hosting more than 60 cultural institutions. Buildings that were once used as grand stabling for imperial horses have been restored and revamped into a brilliant mix of art galleries, museums, dining and shopping arranged around an airy square. Located just at the edge of the city’s central district, this vibrant destination is perfect for relaxing, socialising, and taking in some of Vienna’s cultural riches.

The standout attractions in the MuseumsQuartier are the Leopold Museum and the mumok. Home to the Leopold Collection, the Leopold Museum is a hub for modernist Austrian art and is best known for its collection of more than 200 works by Egon Schiele. Mumok is another beacon of contemporary art, holding a varied selection of modern works including examples of pop art and Vienna Actionism.

With such a variety of things to do MuseumsQuartier is a natural hub for events, and it is particularly known for its dance and music performances. Children and young people are not overlooked, either. The Zoom Kindermuseum has fantastic multimedia exhibitions, and there is a dedicated youth theatre, too. After all that culture, why not browse the boutiques, relax in a café or lounge on one of the recliners in the central square?
