What you'll see and do
Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna
This tour takes you through the Kunsthistorisches Museum's world-class Old Masters collection, with a special focus on its outstanding Flemish paintings. Beyond Bruegel — whose collection here is the largest in the world — you'll encounter works by Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer, Titian, Velázquez, Raphael, Dürer, and Caravaggio, tracing the artists who shaped the course of art history. We'll explore the historical and socio-political context behind these paintings, along with the techniques that made them revolutionary — all inside one of the grandest buildings in Vienna. Completed in 1891 under Emperor Franz Joseph, the museum's Neo-Renaissance palace mirrors its twin, the Natural History Museum, across Maria-Theresien-Platz. Its domed entrance hall is a masterpiece in its own right: marble columns, gold leaf, and allegorical murals — including early work by a young Gustav Klimt.

Doesn’t get better than this!
Walking, talking while experiencing a new place is one of my favourite things. This tour (and the Story of an Empire walking tour) were beyond all my expectations. Our guide, Jan was personable, professional and a fantastic story teller. I would highly recommend this tour. In fact, I can’t wait to go back to do it again!

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bruegel and the Old Masters: A Kunsthistorisches Museum Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Bruegel and the Old Masters: A Kunsthistorisches Museum Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $412 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bruegel and the Old Masters: A Kunsthistorisches Museum Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.
Is Bruegel and the Old Masters: A Kunsthistorisches Museum Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bruegel and the Old Masters: A Kunsthistorisches Museum Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bruegel and the Old Masters: A Kunsthistorisches Museum Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bruegel and the Old Masters: A Kunsthistorisches Museum Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bruegel and the Old Masters: A Kunsthistorisches Museum Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vienna?
+
On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Best of Vienna : Historic Center Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vienna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vienna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
