Museums in Vienna

Vienna has a lot of museums, so you’re never short of entertainment, and many of the museums take more than one day to see everything! When I first arrived in Vienna the first thing I did was go to the Natural History Museum. It has some amazing stuff, but after the ground floor I was exhausted. The History of Austria Museum is only over the road at Heldenplatz. This museum is my favourite, as I knew nothing about Austria when I moved here beyond Mozart and The Sound of Music. I feel like you can learn so much in this museum, and I think the information is presented really nicely. It’s the one I always recommend to my friends when they visit. The Welt Museum is another really cool one, it has artefacts from so many places around the world, it’s a good place to practice learning German too as there wasn’t that much written in other languages. The Military History Museum houses the car that Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in, which I think is a really fascinating point in history. The first Sunday of every month entrance to the military museum is free! The next time there’s a rainy day I’m going to go to the Technical Museum, but in Vienna you never run out of museums to visit.
