Vienna on Sunday

Open Sundays, as almost all the major houses are. €20.90, and with over 35,000 reviews one of the most visited museums in the city — noticeably calmer late afternoon than at eleven.

The value pick on this list: €3.50 for one of the largest museums in the city. Open Sunday and rarely crowded even then, because it sits away from the centre.

Open Sunday and entirely indoors — the dependable answer to a wet Sunday with children. €23, roof terrace included.

€18, open Sunday, and unlike the state apartments it rarely has a queue. The imperial crown and Habsburg regalia in a manageable space — good when you only have two hours.

€18 for the highest viewpoint in Austria, open through the day on Sunday. On a clear day you can see to the Little Carpathians — in low cloud, save your money.

Costs nothing and is always open, because it is simply a street corner. The best free item in the district on a Sunday, and Hundertwasser Village opposite extends it at no cost.

Free, always accessible, and the natural Sunday starting point: Burggarten, Volksgarten and the MuseumsQuartier are all a few minutes' walk away, and all three are free to enter.

Vienna's oldest wine tavern, and a Sunday afternoon at a Heuriger is the real Viennese answer to closed shops. No entry fee — you pay for what you eat and drink.
