    Very interesting conglomerate of buildings with lots to see and explore. Take your time; don't overdo it! Check the exhibition you want to see most, but also enjoy the historic atmosphere with coffee.

    Former imperial palace. Part of the palace forms the official residence and workplace of the President of Austria. Also includes the Spanish Riding School, Austrian Library etc.

    Sightly confusing: Hofburg Palace actually contains three museums in one. You buy one ticket and will see all three (~12 Euro)

    It's a little disappointing when you enter a palace and you see about 30 rooms of... plates? Also the Sisi Museum could be a lot less dim and better assembled.
