Museumsqaurtier

Vienna, Austria

Vienna’s exciting art complex near the Imperial Palace offers not only renowned museums such as the Leopold Museum, with its numerous works by Schiele, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Kunsthalle: a lively array of restaurants, cafés and bars make this museum district even more attractive. See and be seen is the motto – and above all: enjoy...

The MuseumsQuartier (MQ) is one of the ten largest cultural quarters in the world. Located at the border of the old city in the former imperial stables, it combines institutions of different art fields, restaurants, cafés and shops in an area of over 640,000 square feet in a post-modern ambiance, a combination of baroque buildings and modern architecture.

The MQ offers an ambiance that fits the urban lifestyle of its visitors: retaining the old, experiencing the new – and enjoying both of them together. Following this principle, a colorful and varied scene developed amid the setting of eminent museums and collections:
 
After a visit to the Schiele collection, drop by Café Leopold (Su-We 10.00 am - 2.00 pm, Th-Sa 10.00 am - 4.00 pm), which inspires with its own DJ line on occasional evenings. In Café.Restaurant HALLE (10.00 am - 2.00 am daily), you can take a look at the furnishings of Vienna's trendy bar designers, Eichinger and Knechtl. The MQdaily (Th-Sa 9.00 am - 1.00 am, Mo-We, Su & hols. 9.00 am - 12.00 midnight) invites you to drop by for a short break. The hustle and bustle on the large square can be best followed from here.
