We begin in the park where Maria Theresa spent her summers, then enter the state rooms in a reserved time slot with your private Austria Guide: the Great Gallery, the Ceremonial Hall, the Hall of Mirrors where the young Mozart played, Franz Joseph’s study. Stories of court ceremony and family life, of Sisi, who never quite settled here, and of an emperor who sat at his desk at five in the morning.
