Albertina Museum
Albertina Museum Review
This not-to-be-missed collection is home to some of the greatest Old Master drawings in Vienna—including Dürer's iconic Praying Hands and beloved Alpine Hare. The core collection of nearly 65,000 drawings and almost a million prints was begun by the 18th-century Duke Albert of Saxony-Teschen. All the names are here, from Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Rembrandt on down. The mansion's early-19th-century salons—all gilt-boiserie and mirrors—provide a jewel-box setting. DO & CO Albertina, the excellent in-house restaurant with a patio long enough for an empress's promenade, offers splendid vistas of the historical center and the Burggartenthe perfect place to take a break for a meal.
