Unbelievable. Unexpected. The one of the best museums I’ve ever visited. You can spend there the whole day and worth visiting it if you’re in Vienna.

We were able to visit lots of historic bluidings, museums and palaces very easily which gained us a lot of time and it was very worth!

The ticket will be printed at the first museum visited, valid for both. It worth it, very elegant and opulent museums.

The horse coach Fiaker was really nice and explained everything about the sights. I can just highly recommend.

Worth the ticket, what a beautiful museum with amazing works of art!
