Why Go

The Habsburgs ruled from here for more than 600 years, and the palace grew into a city within the city. One ticket covers the imperial apartments, the Sisi Museum on the life of Empress Elisabeth, and the silver collection.

The Imperial Treasury holds the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, from about the 10th century.
