    Vienna:

    Treasures squirreled away during the 600-year Habsburg reign are showcased in the grand 19th-century Kunsthistorisches Museum in the Innere Stadt. Absolute highlight is the Picture Gallery sheltering Rembrandt and Caravaggio masterpieces, plus numerous Habsburg portraits by Velázquez.



    With two palaces and a whole set of little museums, Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum has few rivals. It houses the core collection of the Habsburg dynasty which ruled central Europe from Vienna for nearly four centuries (1588-1918).

    There are five main collections, including Egyptian and oriental artworks and a coin collection. The artists represented in the Picture Gallery include many whose works are very rare and hard to come by.

    The museum also stages major temporary exhibitions.
