Hundertwasserhaus

Hundertwasserhaus is a residential apartment completed in 1985. It is known for its irregular shapes and bright colours. It reminded me of Antoni Gaudi's building in Barcelona.












Upper Belvedere Palace

We reached the museum at about 3.00 pm. The earliest entry was at 5.00 pm. Since it closed at 6.00 pm, we decided to come back another day.




We then took the tram to Hundertwasserhaus
