It's an art gallery of sorts. There are 3 levels. I liked the 1 st floor. 2 nd floor had more abstract art. Since I was there had to finish all 3 levels. It's good but art isn't my thing. One can surely visit if interested in art

An amazing area in the city of Vienna! In this place you can find many different kinds of museums to go to at decent prices. The outside area between the museums is also very beautiful and it is nice just to walk around. There are a lot of Cafe places that you can sit at and chill and also free sitting areas which are really cool and stylish ;) On a sunny day you can go there with your laptop / book and spend your day in the fresh air instead of in an office.

A must - see if you're visiting Vienna city. Great art, especially the medieval. Wasn't a big fan of the contemporary. Nice cafés too.. you can spend a couple of good hours there. August and September are best time to visit.

A cool place with a lot to offer - art, of course, in its museums and galleries, but also various places to chill in its inner courtyards, during the day or evening. Drinks, food, networking.

Château de Foix

The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.

In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
