Kunsthistorisches Museum & Café
One of the world’s foremost museums of fine arts, housed in a magnificent palatial building on the Ringstraße with a legendary cupola cafe.
The museum's cupola cafe is widely considered one of the most beautiful cafe settings in the world. We highly recommend booking their 'Gourmet Evening' (Gourmet-Abend) on Thursday nights, which includes a grand buffet dinner in the dome hall and evening museum access.
Why go
Commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph to house the Habsburgs' formidable art collection, the KHM is a masterpiece of Neo-Renaissance architecture. Inside, you will find works by Raphael, Rembrandt, Vermeer, and the world's largest collection of Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The grand marble staircase features a ceiling fresco painted by Gustav Klimt.
