The Hofburg Palace is a must-see when visiting Vienna. The power-house of the Austrian empire, it holds a wealth of rich culture and history waiting to be explored. The Habsburg emperors built their imperial forum into one of the most lavish locations and now it stands as the official seat of the Austrian President. With a variety of museums such as the Imperial Treasury Vienna, art galleries and prestigious collections, there is plenty to be discovered.
Hint
Please note that the Sisi Museum is one of Vienna's most popular museums and is particularly crowded during peak travel times and on public holidays. Please purchase your free admission ticket for the museum at the ticket counter in the morning (from 9:00 a.m.). Your ticket will assign you a specific admission time at which you can start your tour of the Sisi Museum. If, due to capacity reasons, admission is no longer possible on the same day, you will receive a ticket with a fixed admission time for the next available date. If you are planning your first visit with the Vienna PASS at the Sisi Museum, please note that your Vienna PASS will be activated when it is scanned and the validity period of the pass will begin, even if your time slot for the tour is not until a later date. We kindly ask you to take this into account when planning your trip!
