Albertina

The Albertina is an art museum in Vienna that houses an extensive collection of drawings and prints. Visitors go here to view these graphic works as well as a permanent display of modern art, which includes pieces from the Impressionist movement.

Getting There

The museum is located in the city centre. If you are staying in the central district, it is accessible via a short walk or a brief ride on the city's public transport network. Travel time from the immediate city core is typically under 10 minutes.

Visit Duration

Depending on whether you view only the highlighted modern art or explore the deeper archives of prints and drawings, allow between 2 and 4 hours for a visit.

When to Visit
