Kunsthistorisches Museum ticket: skip the line

The Habsburgs' art collection, from antiquity to the Renaissance

The Kunsthistorisches Museum holds the collection built up by the Habsburgs over centuries, in a lavish nineteenth-century building on Maria-Theresien-Platz. This ticket skips the entry queue for a self-guided visit.

The Picture Gallery is the heart of it: Bruegel's The Tower of Babel, Arcimboldo's Summer and Raphael's Madonna of the Meadow. The Kunstkammer adds Renaissance and Baroque treasures, and there are antiquities from Egypt, Greece and Rome.

Good for planning your own route through a major collection without a guided slot.
