Privattour. Sie gehen nur mit Ihren eigenen Leuten und Ihrem Guide, nie mit fremden Gästen. Mehr als zehn?
The Habsburgs ruled from here for six hundred years, and the Hofburg is still no ruin but the seat of the Federal President, home of the Lipizzaners and the largest residence a family ever built for itself. We walk through the Sisi Museum with her dresses, poems and gymnastics equipment and through the Imperial Apartments where Franz Joseph slept on a camp bed. It is about ceremony and escape, about an empress who did not want to be one, and an emperor whose coffee went cold because the protocol was so long. Afterwards a walk across Heldenplatz and the Volksgarten to the Sisi monument and, if you like, a detour to the imperial confectioner Demel.
The Sisi Museum has been redesigned and expanded. From 19 November 2026 the new tour route is open for the first time: twelve additional rooms, around 700 m² more space and five restored white-and-gold rooms from the Rococo period that were never open to the public before. A new staircase in the Marschallhof makes the route easier to access without barriers. The exhibition areas will be furnished step by step over the coming months. The same goes for the Silver Collection: first parts of the imperial table culture are on view again from the reopening, while the complete new presentation will grow gradually along with the new tour. So every visit over the next months will be a little different, and those who return will find something new.
Variant Hofburg in depth (3 to 4 hours): adds the Treasury with the imperial crown and the State Hall of the National Library.

Yes. Your guide tells the stories that never made it into the films: the poems, the travels, the gymnastics equipment in the bedroom and the feud with her mother-in-law.
The morning exercise of the Spanish Riding School can be added before the tour. We reserve the tickets.
From 19 November 2026 the route through the Sisi Museum and Imperial Apartments is twelve rooms longer. Your guide plans the time so that enough is left for the walk and the stories outside.
