★★★★★4 months agoThe museum was a great surprise, very interesting, not crowded, very relaxing. The house and the village, that are 400m down the street, are also nice but the house can only be seen on the outside. There was a kid playing the violin, so live music, very relaxing athmosphere. The village was a bit too commercial for my taste

★★★★★a month agoThis didnt show as top list to do/see in Vienna, so happy that we made decision to have a peek before heading towards Prater picnic concert. Love both kunsthaus and hundertwasser house. Its just about 500m apart. So when visiting one of it, easily can reach the other one. If looking from outside only, hunsertwasser house is a lot more interesting with its flowing balcony, big tress on non ground floor, terace cafe, big tall glass window. Its surely a one of a kind architecture in the city.
