Perfect tour (and tour guide) for true history lovers
Exceptional. If you’re truly into the details of Habsburg/Viennese history (*and not just wanting a quick run-through of basic highlights), this is the guided tour for you. Well worth the higher cost and extended time. Our English tour guide, Ute (a certified Vienna tour professional), was fabulous - and funny - and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience with her as she guided us around the palace, the treasury, Sisi museum, imperial apartments, and all of Hofburg’s many noteworthy sights and anecdotal stories.

Things to know before you go

  • A must for history buffs, the Sisi Museum is also great for lovers of art, fashion, and design.
  • Since there’s no cloakroom for left luggage and clothing, avoid bringing extra belongings.
  • Tickets are valid for one year, so it’s possible to divide the Imperial Palace into two visits by seeing the ground-floor Silver Collection on one trip, and taking in the Sisi Museum and Imperial Apartments on another visit.
  • The wheelchair-accessible museum is equipped with ramps and elevators, with on-site wheelchairs available for use.

When to get there

During the busy summer months, lines begin to form outside the Imperial Palace even before opening hours. To avoid a wait, plan to arrive early or book tickets online; pre-purchased admission lets you skip the line at the ticket window. Vienna City Card holders also get to skip the lines.

What Else to See in Sisi’s Vienna

While the Imperial Palace is a great place to start exploring Sisi’s heritage in Vienna, there’s plenty more to see. After you’ve toured the Sisi Museum, head to Schönbrunn Palace (Schloss Schönbrunn), where the empress spent the summer months. Included on the grounds of the Schönbrunn Palace are exhibits on Imperial coaches, furniture, and other Sisi artifacts.
