The palace and gardens were built as the summer residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy, the military commander that helped defeat the Turks in the 17th century. The complex consists of two palaces, the Upper and Lower Belvedere, linked by a three-tiered formal French garden. The Upper palace is the more elaborate of the two and is used for festive occasions. The Lower palace served as the Prince's living quarters. Both are highly decorated and houses works by world-renowned artists.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his family lived here between 1784 and 1787, possibly his most joyous and productive years in Vienna. Here he wrote his famous opera "The Marriage of Figaro," along with the Haydn quartets and several piano concerti. On display are lithographs, engravings, portraits, letters, documents and copies of scores. Like many museums in Vienna, Figarohaus is equipped with a sound system that allows visitors to use headphones to listen to musical excerpts.

Sigmund Freud lived and received patients at this address from 1891 to 1938, before leaving for London to flee the Nazis. The museum occupies the apartment and includes many of the antiques the psychoanalyst collected during his lifetime, including all of the waiting room furniture. Glass cases contain letters, books, detailed notes, and photographs. There is also an audiovisual documentary about his family life narrated by his daughter, Anna, who herself became a psychoanalyst.

Composer Joseph Haydn built this house in 1797 and lived here until is death in 1809. Haydn composed some of his finest works here, including "The Creation" and "The Seasons." The museum contains original manuscripts, copies of documents and scores, personal memorabilia, a piano and a clavichord. One room features furniture and keepsakes belonging to Johannes Brahms.

This interesting example of low-income housing uses a mixture of architectural elements and materials. Glass, brick, ceramic, and color are used to both individualize the exterior of each of the 50 apartments and to unify the building as a whole. Sloping terraces and hanging gardens provide additional visual appeal.
