Vienna Tourism/Julius Hirtzberger
They are a must-see for any visit to Vienna and a good starting point if you want to know everything about Elizabeth of Austria.
The walk ideally begins in the heart of the city and therefore at the Hofburgthe most imposing building on Heldenplatz, where the entire Habsburg dynasty lived until the end of the monarchy in 1918. If the royal apartments are unmissable, see the Sissi museum promises a journey through time with a special flavor.
Jewelry, clothes, favorite objects, family portraits… Everything is there, including her gymnastics facilities, left almost identical in the room where she spent a large part of her time between the bars, rings and other machines at the ground.

To visit Schönbrunn and its imposing yellow facade, it is best to opt for opening time or the end of the day. A favorite place for tourists, the former imperial summer residence was particularly appreciated by Sissi for its location, out of sight, with its immense park, which is accessible free of charge.
In rose season, at the end of spring, or in autumn, with its beautiful colors, it is easy to imagine the tranquility that reigned there in the 1800s. Our favorite place without hesitation remains the Palmenhaus – the Palm Tree Greenhouse – commissioned by Emperor Francis, Sissi's husband, in 1882.
