The Hofburg - for centuries the political center of the Habsburg monarchy - museum included!
On the trail of the wonderful Princess Sissi and the history of the Hofburg. On this tour we learn more about Sissi's personality, her work and her influence on history. But not only...
The Hofburg in Vienna was the political center of the Habsburg monarchy for centuries and served as the imperial residence. It reflects the power and splendor of the Habsburg Empire. The Imperial Apartments, part of the Hofburg, offer an insight into the private and public life of the imperial family. Richly furnished with furniture, works of art and personal objects, they convey the splendor and lifestyle of the Habsburgs during their reign.
A peculiarity of the time, for example, was the Sissi gym. We also see the rooms where the emperor held his audiences.

5.00With Raffaele (our guide) it was like stepping back in time. You feel all his passion when he tells — the palaces, the historical figures came to life before our eyes. His stories really took us back to that era, making the tour very interesting. A guide I would recommend with my eyes closed."
The Palace of Sissi, with ,a very good and nice Germana.

5.00We took the tour of the Sissi Palace with Germana, a nice and very prepared Italian guide. The tour was interesting, as well as seeing the various rooms of the palace, precisely because of the many information provided by Germana, both historical and general, which very well illustrated the life of the princess at the Austrian court. Absolutely to recommend
