Two days in Vienna

Morning: Start by visiting Kunst Haus Wien, founded by the artist Hundertwasser and home to his unique work as well as international photography exhibitions. True to the late artist’s visionary ecological commitment, it is Vienna’s first “green” museum. Finish with lunch at the quirky Kunst Haus Wien café which is as fantastical as Hundertwasser’s work.

Afternoon: Explore Jewish history and culture at the Jewish Museum Vienna which hosts several fascinating rotating exhibitions every year.

Evening: Enjoy an evening of opera in the historical Theater an der Wien, one of Vienna’s most beautiful theatres.
