Where to stay near Vienna's Museumsquartier

The MuseumsQuartier is Vienna’s urban living room, a space where hundreds of artists live and work in studios set among museums and galleries. As well as being home to the Natural History Museum, MUMOK Modern Art Museum, the Zoom Children’s Museum and many more, MuseumsQuartier hosts a year-round array of cultural events and festivals.
To give you easy access to this creative quarter, we’ve picked out four of the best apartments within a 5-minute walk.*

City Stay Vienna – Spittelberg

Modern art and city photos decorate the walls

These one- and two-bedroom apartments combine colour and neutrals to great effect – think biscuit and blush in one flat, and charcoal and plum in another. High ceilings and tall windows mean there’s plenty of natural light, complemented by jewelled lamp shades that cast dancing shadows all around. Clean-lined design furniture and black-and-white prints complete the look. City Stay Vienna – Spittelberg is a 3-minute stroll from the MuseumsQuartier, on a quiet cobbled street. A few doors along, you’ll find Matiki, a welcoming bar that specialises in creative cocktails, and low-key local restaurant Das Käuzchen.

Exclusive Apartment Museumsquartier

The apartment’s living room opens out onto a sunny terrace

Exclusive Apartment Museumsquartier doesn’t shy away from bold colours, with statement walls and soft furnishings in crimson, emerald and teal. The minimalist kitchen has sleek concealed appliances and a floating wooden breakfast bar. Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms under the eaves, as well as a bright bathroom with a washing machine. The flat is just 300 metres from Volkstheater tram stop and the northern edge of the MuseumsQuartier. A 2-minute walk in the opposite direction will bring you to Veganista – a plant-based ice cream parlour known for flavours like lavender and basil.

7th HEAVEN Vienna Center Apartments

Up-to-date design meets classic Viennese décor in the 7th HEAVEN apartment

Only three minutes from the MuseumsQuartier, 7th HEAVEN Vienna Center Apartments is a celebration of Viennese tradition. The apartments are all glittering chandeliers, polished parquet and gilt-trimmed paintings, with a mix of antique and contemporary furniture. There’s space for up to four people in the one-bedroom flats, while the spacious studio sleeps two. Guests were impressed by the owner’s attention to detail here – from milk, breakfast cereal and a chilled bottle of cava in the kitchen, to children’s toys provided for families. There's even a bespoke guidebook of the owner's favourite attractions, bars and restaurants to help give you a headstart when exploring the area.

VOLKSinn

The apartment opens onto a communal patio lined with hanging plants

VOLKSinn offers a one-bedroom apartment and a compact studio, both cleverly designed to make the most of space. A rose motif runs through the studio’s decor, while the apartment’s yellow-and-grey living room pays homage to musical greats, with an LP player and vintage records on the walls. Next door there’s a cute Japanese restaurant, and I Ragazzi – a down-to-earth Italian – is on the way to the MuseumsQuartier. Both the MUMOK and the Architectural Museum are within a few hundred metres, and you can walk to Volkstheater underground station in around four minutes.
