The home and consulting rooms at Berggasse 19, where Freud lived and practised for almost half a century. It is the birthplace of psychoanalysis.
The Sigmund Freud Museum is at Berggasse 19 in the 9th district. Freud's family lived here from 1891. He saw patients here and wrote works including The Interpretation of Dreams.

It displays the original waiting room furniture, his manuscripts, photographs, his antique collection and audiovisual material. His famous treatment couch is held in London. It is usually open daily from 10:00 to 18:00. Adult admission is about 16 euros; check the official website for current details. A visit takes about 1 hour, and audio guides are available.
