Overview

On this tour you will visit the Hofburg imperial palace, where you will have a guided tour of both the Sisi Museum and the Imperial Apartments. With origins dating back to the Middle Ages, the Hofburg palace grew exponentially between the 16th and 20th century and up to today still counts 18 buildings, 19 courtyards and over 2500 rooms. Where once the Habsburg imperial family used to live, work and party, a world of politics, gossip and history opens its doors for us as a UNESCO world heritage site museum. Forget about tv shows and fiction! Join this walking tour and hear about the real life of Empress Elisabeth, also known as Sisi. During the short walk, visit the church where the Habsburgs got married at (even Marie Antoinette, who was born and raised in Vienna!). We will also see the stables where the famous Lipizzan horses on the way to the entrance to Hofburg. After the visit of the palace, the tour will end in the stunning Volksgarten, one of Vienna’s most popular picture spots.

Fun and informative, just the right length of time.

Published on Mar, 2025

Our guide Antonia was amazing. She was so engaging and knowledgeable. It was fun asking questions and diving deeper into specific things she mentioned that we were interested in. Her wealth of knowledge was truly astonishing. The tour was an excellent pace with just the right amount of time to stop and discuss each location or artifact. The history on this actually informs so much of the landmarks and historical figures around this in edible city. I highly recommend this tour as part of your Vienna visit.

A wonderful time with Anastasia!

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a wonderful time with Anastasia! We booked a semi-private tour of the palace and museum and were surprised when we arrived with a private guide, only for ourselves! Our guide Ana was wonderful, very informative and made the experience of visiting this palace a real delight.

Great tour of the museum of “our Sisi.”

Published on Jan, 2025

The guide was excellent. She knew so much and shared it in an interesting way. Kept us moving so it never dragged or became boring. Happy to answer a variety of questions.
