In 2018 the Albertina Museum was named one of the Seven Urban Wonders of the World, located right in Vienna’s historic center. Its permanent display presents a survey of the most important artistic styles from French Impressionism, German Expressionism, Russian avant-garde and also an in-depth focus on Austrian art. The unique collection includes painting and drawings of Monet, Degas, Goncharova, Chagall and Kokoschka, just to name a few. The presentation is topped off by numerous chefs-d’oeuvre by Picasso, ranging from his early Cubist pictures to paintings from his experimental late period. Immerse yourself in imperial flair at the Albertina Museum: for around 100 years, the present-day museum building served as the residence of Habsburg archdukes and arch­duchesses. Bearing witness to this period are the 20 sumptu­ously decorated and painstakingly restored Habsburg State Rooms that sweep visitors away into the magnificent world of classicism with their precious wall coverings, chandeliers, fireplaces and stoves, distinctive marquetry and exquisite furniture in Louis-seize style originated from the royal French court workshops of Paris and Versailles. Browse through the collections on various topics such as the permanent collection, prints and drawings, architectural collection, photo collections, and various temporary exhibitions. Choose to add on a visit to the main Albertina Museum with a combo ticket for both venues.Upgrade your visit with a guided tour offered in four different languages (select the option Albertina Entry Ticket and Guided Tour). Available only in August/beginning of September.

Our guide, Irene, was knowledgeable and gave good information. The only thing that could have been improved was to use a bigger car for travelling around. Our group of 3 was quite tight in the back seat of a mid-size car.

Our guide was knowledgeable and charming. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone who has limited time in Vienna and is interested in its history.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable on everything Vienna. It was a wonderful tour
