    The place is MASSIVE! It has so much history and so many things to see! From the silver museum to the library to the sisi museum to the imperial rooms! It's a lot of fun but the tour is really long (about 90 minutes or so). The audio guide experience is really good! I got to learn a lot of things about the history of Austria and about the royal family! Some criticisms are that we can't take pictures at parts of the place (like sisi museum and imperial rooms) and that we can't connect Bluetooth earbuds to the audio guide remote. The amount of things you learn there is so much worth it though and the place is very well priced! I had a lot of fun there.

    It is an impressive and imposing building that houses a variety of exhibits. I honestly can't understand the purpose of all these massive internal staircases that take up almost half of the palace. Finally, the Greek antiquities are as if they were simply stored there and not as if they were being exhibited.

    A charming place surrounded by monuments, for people who love classic style, a touch of art in every inch, I belive the place is more charming at night, would recommend moving in this are using a bike or scooter, a drinking water tap is found opposite to this place.

    Attractive palace and wonderful architecture. The Hofburg is the former principal imperial palace of the Habsburg dynasty. Located in the centre of Vienna, it was built in the 13th century and expanded several times afterwards. It also served as the imperial winter residence, as Schönbrunn Palace was the summer residence.

    Exquisite place full of museums, history of Austria and it's rich culture. The Hofburg is definitely something to recommend for everyone. Every tourist shouldn't miss on this place, it's well organized, the expositions are highly engaging and there are so many of them, there is a lot to choose from. From my point of view, it's impossible to view all of it in single 24h, so prepare at least a week to take it all in!

    To witness all the silver, crystal, porcelain used in this dynasty’s days is mind boggling! The ornate centrepieces, sweet holders, linen etc, just throws you for a loop when you think of the fact that supper usually meant feeding over 100! Learning Empress Sisi’s story echoes the loss of another loved royal, Princess Diana. Photos are not permitted in the private quarters but a great tour nonetheless !!!!!

    I didn't go inside, but the building's design and the view are really impressive and enjoyable, even from the outside. The architecture catches your eye, and you can still appreciate its beauty without entering.

    This place is amazing right in the middle of the city it’s a huge palace complex with several different museums and attractions all within the complex, we did the Imperial Jewels, Sussi Museum & Spanish Riding School in one day was excellent and all the attractions were included on the Vienna Passes we purchased. What a lovely building and day.

    One the most important seats of power in Europe for centuries it is a must see for anyone interested in history. Fabulous palace full of history in the heart of enchanting Vienna. See the butterfly greenhouse attached to the palace for something for all ages from 1-99.

    The Hofburg in Austria is an absolute gem that takes you on a captivating journey through history. As an avid traveler, I have visited numerous landmarks, but the Hofburg stands out as a place that truly encapsulates the essence of Austria's rich heritage. I was immediately struck by the impressive architecture and the sheer scale of the palace. The blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles creates a visual feast for the eyes, transporting visitors to a bygone era of opulence and grandeur. The attention to detail in every nook and cranny is simply astounding. The Hofburg's location in the heart of Vienna adds to its allure. Surrounded by charming streets, delightful cafes, and vibrant cultural attractions, it's the perfect starting point to explore the city. I recommend taking a leisurely stroll through the Burggarten, a beautiful park adjacent to the palace, for a moment of tranquility amidst the urban buzz. Whether you are a history enthusiast, an architecture aficionado, or simply seeking a taste of Austria's imperial past, the Hofburg is an absolute must-visit. It is a testament to the grandeur and cultural legacy of this remarkable country. Prepare to be enthralled by its timeless beauty and indulge in a journey through Austria's rich history.

    The Hofburg is the former principal imperial palace of the Habsburg dynasty. Located in the center of Vienna, it was built in the 13th century and expanded several times afterwards. It also served as the imperial winter residence, as Schönbrunn Palace was the summer residence. Since 1946 it is the official residence and workplace of the President of Austria. Since 1279 the Hofburg area has been the documented seat of government. The Hofburg has been expanded over the centuries to include various residences (with the Amalienburg and the Albertina), the imperial chapel (Hofkapelle or Burgkapelle), the imperial library (Hofbibliothek), the treasury (Schatzkammer), the Burgtheater, the Spanish Riding School (Hofreitschule), the imperial mews (Stallburg and Hofstallungen). The palace faces the Heldenplatz (Heroes Square) ordered under the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I, as part of what was planned to become the Kaiserforum [de] but which was never completed. Numerous architects have executed work at the Hofburg as it expanded, notably the Italian architect-engineer Filiberto Luchese, Lodovico Burnacini and Martino and Domenico Carlone, the Baroque architects Lukas von Hildebrandt and Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, Johann Fischer von Erlach, and the architects of the Neue Burg built between 1881 and 1913. The name translates as "Castle of the Court", which denotes its origins when initially constructed during the Middle Ages. Initially planned in the 13th century as the seat of the Dukes of Austria, the palace expanded over the centuries, as they became increasingly powerful. From 1438 to 1583, and again from 1612 to 1806, it was the seat of the Habsburg kings and emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, and thereafter until 1918 the seat of the Emperors of Austria. Since then the palace has continued in its role as the seat of the head of state and is today used by the Austrian Federal President.

    If you want to know more about the young Empress Sisi who has fascinated everyone, this is the museum you should not miss. We did the full ticket with audio guide and silver collection. The guide is well done and everything it explains is interesting, the silver collection is cool you see the ostentatiousness live of royalty but a quick look is enough. You can see the Empress's dresses and all the rooms preserved and decorated with the style of the time, her office, bathroom etc ... the truth is that it is worth it and interesting.

    We entered through the back entrance of the palace, initially on our way to breakfast. We walk through the gates, through the building in between, and exit into the plaza that wow’d us. Definitely enter via this route.

    Beautiful place, beautiful palace, a must visit in Vienna. Austria is a really beautiful country and Vienna is a pearl of it.

    It was amazing especially the inside the museum it was about the empress and emperor. They give out audio guides for free and if you go you should definitely take one along because there is not much written information it's all in the audio guide. You were not allowed to take any photos from the inside. It was wonderful and you get to explore the rooms that the empress and emperor lived in and hear about their tragic love story.

    If you like knights, royal horses, jousting and such the Imperial Armory is a must see! A collection of 125 suits of armour carefully catalogued by owner and circa. The museum/palace itself is work of art with grand halls, staircases and paintings. Take a peek at the elegance of long ago. The entrance and self-guided tour with audio was included with my Vienna Pass

    Didn't go inside due to a tight schedule but the external architecture of this building is simply majestic and beautiful. Nevertheless, I was contented to be able to witness this marvel from the outside. There are also many beautiful buildings and churches at walking distance from Hofburg. Spend a day here walking around and you will not regret it

    Beautiful palace surrounded by magnificent architecture in the heart of Vienna. I really enjoyed Sisi museum, it is not to be missed. You will learn a lot about Empress Elizabeth of Austria and Queen of Hungary after her marriage with Emperor Franz Joseph. The palace surroundings are very nice and you can take lovely pictures.

    An outstandingly important historical building. A beautiful imposing building from the outside and even more beautiful and more luxurious inside. Really shows how one of Europe's important dynasty lived. Museum of Empress Sisi and Emperor's quarters provide an insight into the wonderful life of the palace.The Hofburg was the seat of the mighty Habsburg Empire until 1918. It is a huge complex, the imperial palace, which was created in the period from the 13th century to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The pearl inside Hofburg is Schatzkammer, the most important treasury of the world, where the imperial crown of the Holy Roman Empire is preserved for more than a thousand years. The Kaiserappartements can be visited, including private rooms of Emperor Francis Joseph and Empress Elizabeth, auditorium halls, dining rooms and state-owned rooms. Part of the Imperial Palace is also the Austrian National Library, the former Hofbibliothek. At every step you can see the grandeur, richness and brilliance. Numerous exhibits make the visit extremely interesting. This is a paradise for lovers of history, architecture and beautiful artifacts.

    (Translated by Google) (English below) The palace used as the winter residence of the imperial family. The numerous halls and rooms are distinguished by their size and splendor.

    (Translated by Google) The center of power of the 600-year-old Habsburg monarchy, which decisively shaped the fortunes of Europe, is historically extremely interesting and at the same time of representative beauty. The Hofburg contains an important, richly decorated library with frescoed ceilings, the private apartments of the imperial couple, imperial insignia and various crowns and famous jewels, halls for banquets, balls and government affairs, etc. Magnificent and fascinating, well worth seeing! (Original) Das Machtzentrum der 600-jährigen Habsburger Monarchie, die entscheidend die Geschicke Europas prägte, ist historisch äußerst interessant und gleichzeitig von repräsentativer Schönheit.

    Hofburg Castle is one of the world's largest palace complexes. Once the residence and administrative center of the emperors of the Habsburg dynasty. Today there are numerous museums with outstanding collections, the Spanish Court Riding School, a congress center, the seat of the Austrian president, and the historic Heldenplatz square. Worth a visit.

    The major must-visiting attraction where it was always hectic and full of tourists. The palace is situated in the heart of everything, surrounded by restaurants, shopping malls, hotels etc. Taking a horse 🐎 riding tour was optional and interesting activity if you have time and want to go sightseeing around this place. The palace was grandiose as you have seen in the picture showing the glory from the past until present days.

    Loved it the first time I came here in summer of 2019 and still loved it again after four years. I’d say I prefer the summer time for this type of visit because it’s a vast area of space that gets quite windy and cold in January. Otherwise, you’ll be able to explore all the vast options when the weather is good. However, if you don’t mind the cold, the grounds are yours, albeit there’s not much to see except the museums. Perhaps this is when a tour guide would be most helpful.

    One of the biggest palaces I’ve visited. It’s located at the heart of the Vienna. There are 3 museums, church, chapel, the national library, the Spanish riding school park, gardens, and the office of the president of Austria. The Sisi Museum and the library are must see. We paid about $17.50 for Day Ticket which included the visit for the Sisi museum and the imperial apartments.

    One of the most stunning buildings in Vienna. Many museums inside the palace include the Sisi Museum. Open spaces nearby with seats to admire the view, especially at night when the building is lit up. Close to most of the famous landmarks in the city, and super easy to reach on foot or by road, tram, or cycle. Also a street nearby with cute historic shops.

    I cannot say anything that has not been said already about this amazing building. I was to impressed with architecture of the outside of this building that I did not take the time to go inside. It is not possible to capture what your eyes can see in a single picture. It is absolutely stunning. This is an absolute must to see and to get the full experience the Hoftburg has to offer you need two days to enjoy it all.

Horse-drawn carriages in front of the entrance, which, however, are grossly overpriced at EUR 80 per carriage. The Austrian Parliament is located next door. The OSCE is also located in the immediate vicinity. The gofburg is ideal for walking and visiting museums. Since we haven't seen everything, we will come again. (Original) Ehem Residenz der Habsburger. Sehr weitläufiges Areal. 2 parks. Sehr viele Museen. Parkplätze vorhanden. Vor dem Eingang pferdekutschen, die allerdings mit 80 eur je Kutsche maßlos überteuert sind. Nebenan befindet sich das österreichische Parlament. Auch die OSZE hat in unmittelbarer Nähe ihren Sitz. Die gofburg eignet sich gut zum spazieren und museumsbesuche. Da wir nicht alles gesehen haben, werden wir wieder kommen.

The entire city of anthology and this palace one of the main. (Original) Bellísimo este palacio, es hermano del Schönbrunn.

    The imperial apartments, silverware collection and Sissi museum were all very interesting. If you choose the audio guide, you get one device to use for all three sections of the tour.

    I really enjoyed this museum and learning more about Empress Elizabeth (Sisi) I did the English guided tour and you could tell that our guide really enjoyed talking about the subject and he made it fun to learn more and also Kinda show us what to look out for when we were walking through the rooms before we even started so that made it really nice since some of the rooms got to be a little tight and it was hard to See everything or it took a while to get to the front to see the item. I’d say this is definitely a tour that’s worth doing especially if you like this time. And learning about old Kings and Queens;Or this case an emperor and empress.

    Every tourist should not miss going to this place, The Hofburg Palace was made for the kings and queen of the Habsburg Dynasty. The architecture is marvelous, and there are museums in the complex that one can visit. There's also souvenir shops with paintings and drawings of Sisi. You and you love can take a romantic ride in the horse carriages or just take a walk around the palace.

    One of the best attractions of Vienna! You cannot go away without visiting this beautiful museum! (Suggestion: buy the Sissi ticket for 44€ and visit Hofburg and Schönbrunn with audioguides at least, they totally worth it).
