1. Art History Museum
The Art History Museum is the largest art museum in Austria and is one of the most important museums in the world.
The museum was built to house the art collection of the House of Habsburg, and the museum building itself is also very beautiful, with an elaborated interior and impressive exterior.
Artworks on display here are, among others, made by van Eyck, Raphael, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, and Michelangelo. I'd highly recommend visiting this museum because it's really one of the best museums in Vienna!

Also, not only the collection of the museum is worth it, but also the palace and the palace gardens make your experience great when you visit Belvedere.
