#1 Secession: When Gustav Klimt and a number of other artists left the conservative Künstlerhaus in 1897, they needed new artistic lodgings. One year later, they found what they were looking for in the vicinity of Vienna's Naschmarkt. Joseph Maria Olbrich had completed the Vienna Secession here in 1898 – a highly contentious building at the time.

#2 Strudelhof Stairway (Strudelhofstiege): In the 9th Viennese district, the Strudlhof Stairway connects Strudlhofgasse with Liechtensteinstrasse. Far beyond this practical purpose, the stairway is above all known for being an important structure of Viennese Art Nouveau.

#3 High Bridge (Hohe Brücke): Admittedly, the Hohe Brücke is not one of the city's best known sights. But in terms of Art Nouveau, it is very important structure in Vienna. The first documented origins of a bridge at this location date back to the year 1295. Over the centuries, various bridges replaced one another. The Hohe Brücke in its current form dates to 1904.

#4 Anker Clock: Our next Art Nouveau structure is also a bridge, but one that became famous for being a clock. This unusual transformation has served as a link between two buildings of the former insurance company "Der Anker" since December 1914. The Anker Clock designed by Franz Matsch is famous not for ticking exactly like a Swiss timepiece but for its Art Nouveau design and for the 12 historic figures.

#5 Klimt Villa: Visually, the Klimt Villa has little to do with Art Nouveau. However, as Gustav Klimt's final place of work, that makes it even more important for this period. Klimt used this villa in the 13th Viennese district as a studio from 1911 until his death in 1918.

#6 Café Rüdigerhof: The Rüdigerhof owes its name to Field Marshal Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg and its appearance to the architect Oskar Marmorek. This student of Otto Wagner had the Rüdigerhof built in 1902 and it became an important Art Nouveau building with its many typical designs and decorations.

#7 Zum weißen Engel Pharmacy: A pharmacy as a tourist attraction? Certainly, if you're looking for traces of Art Nouveau in Vienna! The story of the Angel Pharmacy reaches back into the 16th century. In 1902, after several relocations, the pharmacy moved into its present home in a typical Art Nouveau building that is still important today.
