Imperial Vienna – Old Town + Schönbrunn
We will take a walk through the historic center of Vienna. Starting from the State Opera and strolling through the streets and squares where Empress Sisi and Emperor Francis Joseph, as well as Empress Maria Theresa, once walked, we approach the Hofburg Imperial Palace, which is home to the Spanish Riding School, the Imperial Apartments, the Silver Collection, and the Sisi Museum. We will pass by St. Peter’s and St. Michael’s churches and walk through the luxurious streets of Kohlmarkt, Graben, and Kärntnertor until we reach St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
The highlight of the tour will be the interior visit to Schönbrunn Palace, the summer residence of the Imperial Family and also known as the Sisi Palace, where we will admire the rooms and halls. A walk through the magnificent gardens will give us an idea of the scale of this palace.
