Sisi Museum Hofburg Wien

The Sisi Museum is located in the Imperial Apartments of the Hofburg Palace in Vienna. It offers a very personal look into the life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria (“Sisi”), presenting more than 300 of her belongings — from her dresses and jewelry to letters, travel items, and even her gym equipment. The exhibition explores both the myth and the reality of Sisi: her beauty, her rebellious nature, her strict beauty and fitness regime, as well as her tragically short life, ending in her assassination in 1898. The museum is open daily from 9:00 to 17:30 (last admission at 16:30). Tickets cost around €20 for adults, and there are guided tours available.
