1 to 3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 5 more

Enjoy a self-guided audio tour at Vienna's magnificent New Hofburg Palace, the newest wing of the famous Wiener Hofburg. The audio tour House of Habsburg tells the story of the rise and fall of one of the most powerful families to have ruled in Europe in the last millennium.

Our tour takes you on a journey through the history of the Habsburgs, from the late middle ages to the modern era, past suits of armour that cost the equivalent of a high-end sports car today, a fortepiano that was once played by Mozart and past the only wax bust to show Joseph Haydn as he was in life. The tour passes through those halls and rooms which are imbued with the spirit of Sisi; sadly, the Empress, who was murdered in 1898, never took up residence in the rooms that were originally intended for her.
