VIENNA
Located at a cultural crossroads in
Europe, Vienna has long attracted
great names in philosophy, music
and art. Its palatial Kunsthistorishes
Museum boasts a world-class art
collection amassed by the ruling
Habsburg family. Gustav Klimt's
paintings, including The Kiss, are
displayed at the Belvedere Palace. If
it is modern art you seek, head to
the MuseumsQuartier. As well as
Klimt, Vienna is home to treasures
by Egon Schiele, Pieter Bruegel,
Albrecht Dürer Hieronymus Bosch,
and the early Stone Age Venus of
Willendorf figure on display at the
Naturhistorisches Museum.

PRAGUE
The capital of the Czech Republic boasts a rich
artistic heritage, and a lively and original arts
scene. One of the most important cultural sites
in the Czech Republic is Lobkowicz Palace in
Prague Castle grounds. The noble Lobkowicz
family lost the palace to both the Nazis and the
Communists. Today the castle and its treasures
have been restored, and the family is proud
to share with Viking guests one of the world's
greatest private art collections, on a Privileged
Access excursion. Among the masterpieces
are two Canaletto paintings and Bruegel the
Elder's Haymaking.
