This palace is considered one of the three most significant Austrian historical buildings. The tours of the imperial palace are “worth it “ but Hofburg,as beautiful as it is inside, seems predictable.... more

With the basic ticket you can see the rooms of the palace. With the more expensive one you can see an art exhibit too. It was nice, but sad to see how the aristocrats spent so much money on...

The renovations were done with incredible expertise. There was a film showing the before and after images. AMAZING amount of work. Rooms were furnished with period items and a complete dining table with all the fine table ware was impressive. No photos allowed which was a bit disappointing

I have had expectation but i was dissapointed. First renovations tools was everywere ( outside)but it was open , still. Second, i was ask if i whant to pay for the first floor or second floor!!! First floor was 9 euro( i quess) and bouth 15 euro! Moneymaking was most important think for management than history! It s just a bussines. At first floor it s nothing to see very few and only holograms and pictures and video at projector( i have internet and i m not paying for this at museum!!!). At second floor(witch was 15 eur) was really the museum! So it a must to pay entire price to see something. Just sad!!!!

A beautiful palace. It cost about 9 euro for one person to see just the palace. But we loved it. You cannot take a lot of photos

Great museum, with a modern exhibition about Maximilian I and opened up spaces of Maria Theresia.

A small palace that has been almost fully renovated in 2022. Very impressive rooms, but the furniture exhibution was extremely disappointing as everything was behind a black veil preventing a proper view. Also the lighting in several rooms were way off making it impossible to see the paintings. Please improve.
