Vienna is a woman
The Imperial Apartments in the Hofburg, the exciting museum about the myth of ‘Sisi’, the precious collections of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the fascinating Swarovski Kristallwelten Store Vienna and a dip in the Therme Wien thermal baths are just some of the many attractions that await you in the Austrian capital.
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 apartments, you will be confronted with the myth of Sisi, her beauty, her striving for physical perfection, her phases of instability 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.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum is more than its Picture Gallery. Together with your guide, you will visit a fascinating part of the museum: the Kunstkammer, a ‘cabinet of curiosities’. 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.
Swarovski is a traditional Austrian brand. The company was founded in Tyrol in 1895. 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. One of Swarovski's innovative ideas: you can create your own diamond jewellery. After such an intensive tour, we invite you to enjoy a glass of champagne.
At the end of your stay, you are invited to relax and rejuvenate. Oberlaa, the largest municipal thermal baths in Europe, is fed by a sulphurous healing spring that was already known in Vienna at the time of the Roman Empire. Saunas, steam rooms, salt baths and the so-called health zone are available on an area of almost 6000 m². Relax, savour and enjoy life.
