Freud occupied the address from 1891 until his departure from Austria in 1938. The museum opened later to commemorate his work and to preserve the historic rooms as an educational site.

Berggasse 19 is in Vienna’s central districts, north of the Innere Stadt and reachable by public transport from the city centre.

• Location and dates: Sigmund Freud lived and worked at Berggasse 19 from 1891 until he left Austria in 1938, and the museum occupies his former residence and practice.

What to See#

• Freud’s apartment: The preserved apartment at Berggasse 19 contains Freud’s consultation room and study with original furnishings and medical instruments on display.

The Sigmund Freud Museum is at Berggasse 19 in the Alsergrund district. Take the U2 to Schottentor and walk roughly 5-10 minutes to Berggasse; several tram lines also serve the Schottentor/Hauptuni area. It’s a short trip from central Vienna by public transport or taxi.

• Head to Berggasse 19 at opening to experience the preserved rooms (Freud's former apartment and office) before guided groups arrive; the museum is compact so early arrival makes for a calmer visit.
• Buy tickets online or check timed‑entry availability in advance - the site's limited footprint means entry can be regulated during peak periods.
• Allow a little extra time for the temporary exhibitions and the small archive/reading area; many visitors view only the preserved rooms and miss rotating displays that add important context.
