Hofburg Vienna, Vienna 1010 +43 1 533 7570 http://www.hofburg-wien.at/en/site/publicdir/ |
The Imperial Palace was the residence of the Habsburg Emperors until 1918. Today, it is home to the offices of the Austrian president. Parts of the palace are accessible to the public, among them the former Imperial Apartments. The rooms in this part were the private rooms of Emperor Francis Joseph I and his wife, Emperor Elisabeth. She was fondly called Sisi and it's no surprise that the rooms were she lived are called Sisi's rooms. Infact these rooms are major crowd-pullers. They are as opulent as one might imagine, decorated with stuccoed work in rococo style, valuable tapestries, crystal chandeliers and filled with fine furniture. The audience hall and the conference room are also open to the public; the latter was where the Council of Ministers and the Crown Council met. Admission: EUR8.90 for adults and EUR4.50 for children upto age 15. Review © 2009, Wcities |
