Author tip

Zip into the Old Town for a walk around the Picasso Museum (tel: 041 410 35 33; Furrengasse 21). A portrait of the artist rather than a showcase of his work, the museum displays 200-odd photographs of the man snapped by American photojournalist David Douglas Duncan during the last 17 years of Picasso's extraordinary life.
