Tour schedule
Sisi Museum Hofburg
The Sisi Museum & Imperial Apartments, combines the world of the former imperial grandeur of the Habsburg dynasty with the personal cult of Empress Elisabeth, the famous wife of Emperor Franz Joseph I. During an intensive tour of the museum and the former imperial flats, you will be confronted with the myth of Sisi, her beauty, her striving for physical perfection, her
phases of labile and eccentricity and finally her tragic death. The authentic interiors of the Hofburg and Elisabeth's personal belongings, dresses and jewellery will immerse you intensely in the world of a bygone era.
Chamber of Art at the Kunsthistorisches Museum
The Art History Museum is not only the Painting Gallery. Together with your guide, you will visit a fascinating part of the Gallery - the Kunstkammer - or ‘Cabinet of Personalities’. Do you like precious objects, are you fascinated by their history, value and purpose? Vienna's Kunstkammer, is one of the most important in the world. It contains more than 2,100 valuable exhibits collected over many centuries by the Habsburg dynasty.
The glittering world of Swarovski crystals
Swarovski is a traditional Austrian brand. The company was founded in Tyrol in 1985. The Swarovski store is located in the prestigious 1st district of Vienna, in the immediate vicinity of St Stephen's Cathedral. Together we learn about the history of the company, admire the sophisticated, creative products and immerse ourselves in the architectural space of the art installations. These are gigantic projects consisting of flexible tubes with LED lights and more than two million Swarovski crystals. An orchestral interplay of light, crystal and space. An innovative idea from Swarovski, it is possible to create your own diamond jewellery. After such an intensive tour, we invite you to enjoy a glass of champagne.
Wellness in Vienna - Oberlaa thermal spa
At the end of your stay, you are invited to relax and rejuvenate. The largest municipal thermal swimming pool ‘Oberlaa’ in Europe is a sulphurous healing spring, which was already known in Vienna at the time of the Roman Empire. Saunas are available on an area of almost 6000m², steam cabins, salt baths and the so-called health zone. Relax, savour and enjoy life.
