Entrée à l'abbaye de Klosterneuburg

La visite guidée a été une expérience formidable à tous points de vue ! Un petit groupe et un guide très compétent, doté d'une mine de connaissances qu'il a su transmettre de manière claire et vivante, à juste dose, à chaque étape et pour chaque pièce exposée ! Conclusion : ça vaut vraiment le détour !!

The tour of the winery was interesting and the guide was lovely. Due to the weird scheduling of the individual tours we were not able to do more than this one tour. We would have had to wait an hour after it finished to go on the general tour. Much of the things to see without a guide were beautiful but those that were open without a guide were very limited. For the long trip outside of Vienna it was not worth the amount we got to see there. Arriving by public transporation was easy (except for the climb up stairs from the road).

What a wonderful place! Visiting the monastery was a last minute decision on our part, as I do not usually visit places such as these. I was persuaded by my husband, and I am glad he did so. The monastery is now among my favorite places in Vienna! Pros - - We booked our tickets here, and got access to all the guided tours that were scheduled throughout the day. - Our guide was very friendly and clearly enthusiastic about the subject. We learned loads of history about the monastery. - The tour did not feel rushed, we took our time to explore the Treasure Chamber, the museum and the wine cellar. - The collection of artworks is both extensive and beautiful. Cons - - The church may not be accessible if you visit during ceremonies like Mass and Divine Office. - The place has a lot of history, so the information can seem much to take in at a time, but you can always ask the guide to explain some parts one more time. Tips - - Book tickets online for convenient entry and ensure an expert guide to take you through the Abbey - The guided tours have different timings; plan your visit accordingly so that you don’t miss out on any particular tour you want to join. At the end of the day, the monastery is a place worth visiting for everyone who appreciates great architecture, art and history. Would definitely visit again if we ever return to Vienna.

A lot of beautiful pieces of art such as the archducal hat and the Verdun altar. However, as a wine lover, the baroque wine cellar is a personal favorite!

Beautiful monastery and an interesting exhibition and museum.
