Neighbourhood guide

Neubau

The MuseumsQuartier and Spittelberg

Neubau is the district of the MuseumsQuartier, the Spittelberg lanes and many small shops. It is where Vienna's contemporary art and design scene is easiest to find.

The MuseumsQuartier groups the Leopold Museum, mumok, the Kunsthalle Wien, the Architekturzentrum and the Tanzquartier around courtyards with seating. The Volkstheater and the Hofmobiliendepot are close by.

Behind it, Spittelberg has cobbled Biedermeier lanes, small restaurants and a Christmas market each winter. Siebensterngasse and Neubaugasse add independent shops and taverns.

Getting there

U2 stops at Museumsquartier and Volkstheater, U3 at Volkstheater, Neubaugasse and Zieglergasse (Wiener Linien). Buses 48A and 13A cross the district.
