The Albertina stands on a bastion of the old city wall and holds one of the largest collections of graphic art in the world. The visit combines the Habsburg state rooms with changing exhibitions and a permanent collection from Monet to Picasso. The building is easy to reach on foot from the cathedral and the Hofburg, so it fits between them. Tickets are valid for one year and allow a single entry.
What to look for
