The Hofburg was not only the centre of the Habsburg empire for over 600 years but also the main residence of the imperial family. The residential apartments and state rooms used by Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth evoke courtly tradition and imperial lifestyle in the 19th century.
Included in the entrance fee is access to the Sisi Museum, which opened its doors on 24 April 2004. In six rooms you can explore the life and complex personality of the famous empress. Also, the Imperial Silver Collection - objects exhibited here were once owned by the imperial family and document in a very immediate way the splendour of imperial life and personal tastes of the Habsburg dynasty.
