Formerly the imperial court stables, the MuseumQuarter Wien complex now functions as a lively meeting point for young artists, musicians and students. The ten museums and venues housed here focus on fostering the creation of art as well as its appreciation, so exhibitions, performances and workshops in a range of disciplines (as well as free wireless internet) are offered to the public year-round. In warm weather, the central courtyard features a pétanque field, mini-racecar track, outdoor bars and restaurants, and distinctive brightly coloured outdoor couch-like Enzis, so you can grab a cold beer and get to know the locals. Keep an eye on the schedule for their indoor and outdoor events in both summer and winter.
