Sisi Museum

In the beginning you go through an exhibition of plates and ceramics, which is pretty to look at but not too exciting. Then you get to the Sisi part, first her story is told and then you walk through her and her husbands rooms. The audioguide is very useful and doesn't contain too much information so I'd recommend taking one. Overall a good experience!

The story of Empress Elizabeth or "Sisi", as she was called, reminded me a lot of Princess Diana's life. They were both young when they married into royalty, and they both died too soon. Other similarities between them include obsession and adoration from "Commoners", and possible eating disorders. The beginning of this tour starts with silver, china, etc. From the Hofberg Dynasty. I must mention that it was quite humid and warm on our July visit, and I couldn't seem to muster much enthusiasm for the VAST amount of items in this part of the tour. Unless you REALLY enjoy silverware, candlesticks, china, etc. You will likely not spend a great deal of time here. Yes, it was beautiful, but exactly HOW much silver does the average person really want to see- and especially in stifling July heat? At least photos can be taken on this part of the tour. After leaving this section, you go upstairs to the Apartments and Sisi Museum. There is a lot to see, but again it was warm with no air flow ( and masks are required, which make it even hotter). Many of the exhibits are well done. I especially liked the room where Sisi's dresses were displayed (very beautiful). In spite of my FREE audio guide tour, though, I didn't feel the tour flowed well, IMO. The most annoying part of all was the staff obsession with staring everyone down to prevent photography. Instead of being friendly and informative, watching for people trying to take photos seemed like their top priority. Numerous people were approached about this, many looking confused ( I didn't witness anyone trying to take photos). It was hot and crowded, and I found myself just wanting out of there. This was my least favorite of the museums. The entrance fee isn't too high ( $36.00 for two people), but for all the reasons above, I just didn't enjoy it as much as the others. If you are a fan of Sisi, then this would be a must see. PLEASE NOTE- CLOSED SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY

It's great time!! Honestly,I didn't feel like more luxurious this museum than things I've seen in Paris and Rome but it was very interesting about Sissi's life history The price is 15erous included audio guide but there's no Korean(that's reason I didn't give 5stars here Lol) I wish they offer korea one for so many koreans who traveling and loving Vienna:)

First part of the visit is dedicated to kitchen, table setting and bathroom goods. It's too much...

Amazing museum with huge collection of imperial silver, gold and china tableware plus very interesting to see Imperial Apartments of the Hofburg contrasts myth with with real story of Sisi life. The highlights include numerous personal objects of Elisabeth as well as the most famous portraits of the popular empress. Star deducted just for missing Ukrainian audioguide as many other Vienna's museums already provide.

So much to see so much to learn. Really enjoyed going through the apartments, wish we could have taken photos there.

If you want to know a little bit about Sisi, this place offers you this opportunity. You can take a guided tour or an audio guide. If you are not so keep on history you can take audio guide and listen what’s important for you and skip what’s not. This one has on option to listen only the “good to know” things, marked inside museum with a red star

? You have to visit Sisi Museum if you are in Vienna! Based on Elizabeth's personal belongings, visitors to the Museum of Empress Sisi can see the life of this beautiful and often misunderstood queen: among the more than 300 exhibits are the original parts of the wardrobe, a miniature secretary with envelopes
