Morning
Begin your day at the Neues Rathaus (see p103) then leisurely walk along the Ringstrasse towards Parliament. Once you have taken in these political gems, you are then free to explore the city’s wonderful museums.
The highlights are the Kunsthistorisches Museum see pp18–21) and Naturhistorisches Museum (see p103) and you could easily spend a full day in each of the museums, so select your main areas of interest and concentrate on those collections. Have a morning coffee in the museums themselves – the cafés in both venues are excellent and offer a great view of the museums’ lower floors.
Walk across the square to the Museumsquartier (see pp28–9) and stroll around the many courtyards. Before embarking on another museum, have lunch in any of the four restaurants in the complex – all of them offer equally delicious food.
Afternoon
After lunch visit the Museum for Modern Art and the Leopold Museum, before leaving the complex through gates 6 or 7. These lead you straight to the Volkstheater. Make your way up Burggasse and the Spittelberg area spills out to your left, where you can stroll around the shops and galleries.
After dark, return to the Neues Rathaus to see it lit up against the night sky.
