Austria is where the Habsburgs collected for six centuries – and where Mozart, Klimt and the Sachertorte all come from.
Vienna is a capital of museums: the Kunsthistorisches Museum with its Bruegels, the Belvedere with Klimt's The Kiss, the Albertina's drawings, the Leopold Museum's Schiele, the imperial treasury in the Hofburg and the Sisi Museum next door, and Schönbrunn Palace on the edge of town. In Salzburg you climb to the fortress and walk into the house where Mozart was born. Innsbruck has the Golden Roof and Ambras Castle with its cabinet of curiosities; Graz has the bubble-shaped Kunsthaus beside a medieval old town; Linz shows art and technology at Ars Electronica; Hallstatt's salt mine has been worked for 7,000 years. And between museums there is always a coffee house – Vienna's coffee house culture is UNESCO heritage. This museumtickets.com guide follows Austria state by state.
