Sisi Museum - Hofburg Vienna

The Vienna Hofburg is one of the largest palace complexes in the world. The oldest parts date from the thirteenth century, but building continued into the twentieth century. The sprawling complex with nineteen courtyards and eighteen wings was once the political centre of the Habsburg Monarchy.

Today the Federal President of Austria and several ministers and secretaries of state go about their official business in the magnificent state rooms. Many important cultural institutions are also housed in the former imperial winter palace.

Come and visit the imperial winter residence and discover how Austra’s rulers once lived.

Plase note

The museum area will be closed until the opening of the newly redesigned Sisi Museum on November 19. However, the authentic living quarters continue to offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Franz Joseph and Elisabeth at the imperial court.
