What is it?
The Museums Quarter (MQ for short) brings together numerous museums, famous monuments, cafés, restaurants and shops in the former imperial horse stables, making it one of the world’s largest cultural centres.
Is it worth visiting?
The great thing about the Museums Quarter is that it’s not only home to some of the city’s best cultural attractions, it’s also just a vibey spot you can spend a whole day in and soak it all up. In the summer months, a load of seating areas get set up in the MQ’s inner courtyard, known as ‘Enzis’, and the cafés stay open late, so you can spend a whole evening soaking it up too.
Are any of the museums free?
While MQ itself is totally free to hang out in, the museums there each have their own ticket system – but you can usually get them on site without any booking in advance. You can also book tours on GetYourGuide which include multiple museums and hotspots.
Where should I eat there?
MQ won’t let you go home hungry, promise. Café Leopold serves up Asian-inspired dishes, the Kantine has lunch and snack food and visitors with children will feel right at home at Dschungel, a child-friendly café opposite the Zoom children’s museum.
