New Hofburg Palace Tour House of Habsburg
Overview
Available languages
Paper ticket
Enjoy a self-guided audio tour at Vienna's magnificent New Hofburg Palace, the newest wing of the famous Wiener Hofburg. The audio tour House of Habsburg tells the story of the rise and fall of one of the most powerful families to have ruled in Europe in the last millennium.
Our tour takes you on a journey through the history of the Habsburgs, from the late middle ages to the modern era, past suits of armour that cost the equivalent of a high-end sports car today, a fortepiano that was once played by Mozart and past the only wax bust to show Joseph Haydn as he was in life. The tour passes through those halls and rooms which are imbued with the spirit of Sisi; sadly, the Empress, who was murdered in 1898, never took up residence in the rooms that were originally intended for her.

4.00Extensive activity, consider more than three hours to be able to walk it conscientiously. the room dedicated to mesoamerica and especially Mexico is very beautiful, however in all there is much to see and admire. Audio guide is a good tool but it makes the journey slow.
All right.

4.00Tour included in the Vienna pass, we struggled to find the entrance that is the same as the Weltmuseum; the audio guide is provided that explains the history of the Habsburgs and describes what is shown: a huge collection of armor, from the most "simple" to the most particular.
Good

5.00Here you can learn the whole story about the Habsburgs. That they ruled for 650 years and were very branched. They ruled over 50 million people.
