I’ve just returned from a long weekend in Vienna, where I was welcomed with clear, blue skies, strong sunshine and tourist-free streets. The city is really walkable and it’s a real cultural hub, so spend days strolling through the districts and popping into different museums and galleries – there are more than 100. The Belvedere Palace is home to the world’s largest collection of Klimt, and the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien is the country’s largest gallery, where you’ll find masterpieces by Rubens, Titian, Rembrandt and Brueghel. Plus, the recently opened Albertina Modern has lots of exciting contemporary exhibitions planned – I saw Ai Wei Wei’s latest collection, In Search of Humanity, showcasing some of his activist work over the years. For a break from art, head beyond the city and go hiking in the Alps, where you can channel your best Julie Andrews in majestic mountain surrounds.
