Day 3 morning: 

• The best museums for children

Vienna boasts about 100 museums and collections – from very little ones to very big ones. There is something for children to enjoy too. Boring museums are a thing of the past – off to the art! Looking and joining in is on the cards.
Numerous museums focus on topics that excite the whole family – from technology to nature, the imperial age, art and music to chocolate: Naturhistorisches Museum, House of Music for Kids, Museum of Technology, Museum of Illusions.

• Lunch - Hot Dog Stands in Vienna

The city’s hot dog stands – mostly small sidewalk kiosks – sell not only hot dogs but also wieners, Käsekrainer and fried sausage, and as well as a whole range of culinary surprises. They are complemented by an impressive variety of beverages from raspberry pop to specialty beers. We recommend Bitzinger hot dog stand at Albertina.
