#1 Torture Museum: A dark atmosphere, instruments of torture, guillotines, witch burnings - and all that in a historical Second World War bunker. A visit to the Vienna Torture Museum is an unusual experience and definitely not for the faint-hearted. The sight of medieval instruments of torture makes us shudder.

#2 Esperanto Museum: Housed within the Austrian National Library is the Esperanto Museum, one of the oldest language museums in the world. To begin with, a short film gives visitors an overview of the constructed language of Esperanto. The extensive exhibition at Palais Mollard then provides an interactive insight into the history of Esperanto and other constructed languages from 1887 to the present day. Admission is free!

#3 Globe Museum: The Globe Museum is unusual, even unique in the world. A neighbor of the Esperanto Museum, this museum in the Austrian National Library also has a magnificent home in Palais Mollard. More than 200 globes from around the world make up this special exhibition.

#4 Prater Museum: Since the imperial hunting grounds were opened to the people in 1766, much has taken place in Vienna's Prater. From the World's Fair to Venice in Vienna, from the construction of the Giant Ferris Wheel to the Prater as we know and love it today, there was a lot going on. New standards in entertainment were set here over and over again. Reason enough then to dedicate a museum to the Prater.

#5 Rauchfangkehrermuseum (Chimney Sweep Museum): A museum visit that brings good luck? At the Vienna Chimney Sweep Museum, this wish becomes reality. Chimney sweeps everywhere enjoy a special reputation as bringers of good fortune. A visit to the museum on this subject is sure to bring an extra portion of luck.
#6 Collection of Clocks and Watches: The Collection of Clocks and Watches has (almost) all the time in the world - enviable! Over three floors and in 19 rooms, there are about 700 clocks distributed throughout Vienna's Collection of Clocks and Watches. This makes it one of the most important collections of its kind in Europe. More than 3,000 other clocks and watches are held in the museum's depot.

#7 Magic Box Museum: Near Schönbrunn Palace, magic lies in the museum air. No wonder, because Vienna's Magic Box Museum immerses us in a world full of conjuring and magic tricks. More than 3,000 exhibits from across three centuries make the museum the world's largest collection of magic boxes - admission to the Guinness Book of Records is included.
