Where to stay in Neubau
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Neubau suits visitors who want to sleep beside the MuseumsQuartier, steps from the Leopold Museum and central Vienna, on lively lanes rather than a grand boulevard. Beds run small here. The lanes hold small shops and cafes, and the galleries of the MuseumsQuartier sit a short stroll away, so a room here trades a quiet address for a front-row place among the museums.

About Neubau
What are the main landmarks in Neubau?
Neubau builds its landmarks around the MuseumsQuartier, the sprawling arts complex at the heart of the district. Culture crowds the courtyards. The Leopold Museum, Mumok, and the Kunsthalle Wien open onto its plazas, while the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Maria Theresa Monument face the quarter from across the Ring.
What is the history of Neubau?
Neubau carries a plain, telling name. In German it means new building, a memory of the fresh construction that first spread across this ground before the quarter was drawn into Vienna among its inner districts. Growth soon erased the open land.
The great arts complex of the MuseumsQuartier anchors the district, gathering galleries and courtyards at its very core.
Where is Neubau?
Neubau sits at the heart of Vienna, a small inner district running back from the MuseumsQuartier, with the Kunsthistorisches Museum facing it across the Ring.
