    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.

    It'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

    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.
