I'm fortunate enough to visit Vienna soon, but a fairly short trip. I doubt I'll have time for both, but if I can make one battlefield museum, should it by Aspern-Essling or Wagram? Any other suggestions? Thanks! |

Agree with Flashman, chock full of Napoleonic era uniforms, weaponry, couple of eagles iirc, and that is before you even look at the 30YW, WW1&2 galleries |

I also agree with Flashman. I visited this museum for the first time this year and was really impressed. A fabulous setting and the most fantastic exhibits. Absolutely not to be missed. From the map it appears that Aspern and Essling are both built over anyway. |

I did Essling granary, Aspen church and Wagram museums in one day. They are not that big and close enough to get to by public transport. I made sure to go on a Sunday when all three were open Spent most of a full day at the Military History museum though. |

Agree with recommendation for the HGM, it is magnificent. If you do fancy either of the relatively small museums at Deutsch-Wagram or Aspern Essling do lookup opening times in advance. They have very restricted opening times. |

Even my wife and daughter found the Army Museum interesting – it's a must! |

2nd the Army museum. And if time…Aspern-Essling and have a look at terrain around Lobau Isld. |

As mentioned, I have a feeling that the battle site museums are closed at this time of year. Even when open, it is only for a few hours on a Sunday morning. I went to both at Aspen- Essling and they were good but the HGM is excellent. One oddity is you have to buy a ticket to take photographs. |

AE is pretty much built over with suburban housing. I had a devil of a time trying to find the Granary. If you are limited for time, see the museum. |
