History
The Hofburg grew over generations as a centre of Habsburg rule. The Sisi Museum and Imperial Apartments concentrate on Elisabeth, Franz Joseph and the contrast between public imperial imagery and rooms associated with court life.
Why Visit
This is useful for understanding imperial personalities and domestic space rather than collecting palace façades. A guide helps connect objects and rooms with the wider history of the monarchy.
