MuseumsQuartier
Museumsplatz, Burgring, Maria-Theresien-Platz
The west side of the Ring, apart from the cathedral. Parliament, the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the MuseumsQuartier, with Karlsplatz and the Karlskirche further south.

Parliament, the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the MuseumsQuartier stand on the west side of the Ring.
The day after the inner town. Museums in the daytime, the Karlskirche toward evening.
Useful if the museums matter more than the Graben. The cathedral is a walk across the Ring, and a suitcase is better kept out of the inner courtyards.

This side of the Ring is its own walk, not a turn off the cathedral. Karlsplatz and the Karlskirche close it to the south.
