Both in brief
A storied art academy on Schillerplatz, a few steps from the Opera and the Ring — small, venerable, with a famous picture gallery. Right in the first district.
An internationally renowned university of applied arts — design, architecture, graphics — on Stubenring next to the MAK and Stadtpark. Creative, central, at the edge of the old town.
