Fodor's Review:

An impressive collection not to be missed 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 legendary names are here, from Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Rembrandt on down. The mansion's glorious early-19th-century salons -- all gilt-boiserie and mirrors -- provide a jewelbox setting. DO & CO Albertina, the excellent in-house restaurant with an immense patio long enough for an empress's promenade, offers splendid vistas of the historical center and the Burggarten -- the perfect place to take a break for a meal.
