Edward RoozeboomMay 23, 2015It's huge. It offers a great tour trough imperial Austria, including the imperial service, apartments and a look into the life of Sisi. Prepare for a long walk

Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 31, 2013When you’ve waltzed to your heart’s content, head for one of the coffee bars to recharge or get funky in the disco room. – Green Guide Editor
Alex SmithJune 6, 2018Worth going in to see the apartments and story of Elizabeth. Silver collection is large but a bit boring.
Benni PrinzDecember 4, 2017Beautiful palace with a ton of history! Take a guided tour to fully appreciate.
Sam HDecember 18, 2014Sightly confusing: Hofburg Palace actually contains three museums in one. You buy one ticket and will see all three (~12 Euro)
Joanne MoussaFebruary 6, 2016I didn't have time to visit the insides but it sure looked like a fairytale on the outside!
Hyun Ku KangApril 11, 2017A lot of museum in Wien close at every Monday, please check before you plan to trip
Lilly MinzatJanuary 2, 2016One of the first historical place that you must see when you are in Wien!

Mike WalekeJuly 23, 2017The musical instrument museum was surprisingly entertaining and is included with the armor exhibit,
PRoMete .May 1, 2017Vyanaya işlə bağlı gəlmişdim. İş bizə bələdçi də qoşmuşdu ki, bizə şəhər barədə danışsın. Əgər imkan çatırsa Vyananı xüsusilə də hofburqu bələdçi ilə gəzin. Sirrlər dünyasıdır.

Emin DEDEMarch 29, 2013If you visit Vienna, get ready to shocked culturally. This is one of the place you will probably feel the sense.
- IrisSeptember 3, 2014Very nice palace with impressive remainigs of the everyday life of the royal family.
Thais BenevidesOctober 30, 2014It'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.
Matthew CaldecuttDecember 25, 2015The complex is enormous, but the three museums there can be seen in about half of a day.
