Reopened in late 2023 after a major expansion, the Wien Museum is the definitive museum of Vienna's urban history and culture, covering everything from Roman Vindobona to Otto Wagner's modernism and postwar counterculture. The permanent collection is free on the first Sunday of each month, and the rooftop terrace offers a superb view of the Karlskirche. It skews toward locals rather than tourists, which makes it feel refreshingly authentic.
