From Spanish equestrianism to handcrafted Far Eastern pottery in just five minutes.

See the whole world in Vienna – something that’s not just possible in the city as a whole, but also in a single location: the Weltmuseum Wien, which contains more than 250,000 ethnological and archeological artifacts from Africa to Siberia and the Andes to Oceania. Anyone who can’t get enough of the world’s cultural treasures can satisfy their curiosity at the MAK – Museum of Applied Arts, which holds one of Europe’s most important permanent collections of Asian art. Porcelain, woodcuts and exquisite textiles from China, Japan and Korea never fail to cast a spell on visitors.

If you are planning a voyage of discovery back through the mists of world history, then the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna has to be on your itinerary. And the extensive Egyptian Collection, with its sarcophaguses, sculptures and impressive ceiling paintings is definitely the place to start. And it is not far from art to equestrianism at the UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage-listed Spanish Riding School – whose name references the Iberian Peninsula where its famous Lipizzaner stallions hail from.
