The tour of the Imperial Palace was interesting. It provides a more person view of the Imperial family than the tour at Schonnberg. We were glad we had seen Schonnberg first and then the Imperial Palace. The silver and china tour is a bit much... the craftsmanship is amazing and beautiful. But after a while it was like looking at... More

really really fancy plan for two to three hourse of amazing history trip try to avoid when the tourist group times to feel free to enjoy the displays

Having lived within 5 minutes of windsor castle for years and gone to buckingham palace a few times, its hard to be impressed with a castle/ palace.. This place is enormous! Architecture is beautiful and not too ornate. We also had the pleasure of having a group dinner/ party in the Palace and the food and service from the staff... More

This museum/palace is huge and is a must-see in Vienna. You learn so much about the Hapsburg Family here, and therefore learn a great deal about the Austrian Empire and Vienna, in general.

I have just returned from our partner's EMEA conference in Vienna, where they booked the Hofburg Palace for our entertainment, food and drinks on the final evening. Wow, a perfect location for such a large and discerning international business group! The grandeur of the building and positive impact you get as you walk up the impressive internal staircase to the... More

The Sisi Museum details the life of Empress Elisabeth, who had an interesting but tragic life. The Imperial Apartments are similar to Versailles or Fontainebleau. I'm sure the... More

We took the subway to the Palace and got off one stop after the main station by accident and ended up entering through the Incredible gardens surrounding the palace. Whether you enter through this way or not, it's not something you'll want to miss! The tour of the palace was really fun too but we had just as much fun... More

This Palace was more interesting and larger than the Belvedere palace. The artifacts and museum pieces are a great lesson in history. The audio tour helped to explain each room. It does take quite a while to see it all, but it is really worth your time.

We visited the Sisi museum at the Hofburg almost in spite of the story of Elizabeth, the last empress of Austria-Hungary. I thought it sounded too melodramatic: the disaffected royal who could not find peace in the palace but left her family to roam the world, only to be tragically assassinated in Geneva. But I was impressed and awed but... More
