Description

Retrace the footsteps of the legendary Empress Sissi on this Vienna tour, immersing yourself in her memory and legacy at the dedicated museum in the Hofburg Palace.

Description

Meet us at Albertinaplatz for a fascinating tour, where we'll have the chance to encounter one of history's most illustrious figures, Empress Sissi of Austria.

Our first stop takes us to the Hofburg Palace, the largest in the Austrian capital and the former official residence of the Habsburgs. Inside, we'll find the Sissi Museum—a curated collection of artifacts that once belonged to the monarch, offering an authentic glimpse into her private life.

Within the imperial apartments, this exhibition showcases some of her most iconic dresses, jewelry, and portraits. We'll marvel at personal items, from a dressing table to the childhood harp she played and even the bed where Sissi slept!

After this exciting visit, we'll venture into the charming streets of Vienna, passing by souvenir stores to collect souvenirs of our time. Our tour will conclude in the impressive Volksgarten Park, wrapping up this enriching exploration of Empress Sissi's legacy in the heart of Vienna.

Me gustó mucho la visita al palacio y la historia de Sissi! Bergitte (o Vicky, nuestra guía) era encantadora y explicaba genial. La visita interior genial aunque había algunos momentos eramos demasiada gente en las salas… la visita interior no es muy larga, me hubiera gustado ver más salones! Luego se hace un poco de tour por fuera, por el centro de la ciudad. Sin duda una buena forma de conocer un poquito más la ciudad de Viena! Translate this opinion into English.

I really enjoyed the visit to the palace and the history of Sissi! Bergitte (or Vicky, our guide) was charming and explained things very well. The visit inside was great, although there were times when there were too many people in the rooms… the visit inside is not very long, I would have liked to see more rooms! Then there is a little tour outside, through the city centre. Without a doubt a good way to get to know a little more about the city of Vienna! Opinion translated. Show original.
