Es un lugar increíbles, imponente e imperdible si estás en Viena. Tuve la suerte de conocerlo por dentro para un Ballroom y quedé impactada, una maravilla histórica El tour de la emperatriz Sissi también lo hice y es ESPECTACULAR, vale cada euro.

Complejo de palacios. Ese muy extenso con varios lugares de visita. Hay que ir con tiempo. Es útil la Vienna City Pass porque la mayoría de los lugares tienen acceso con entrada y se ahorra mucho dinero. El museo de Sisi está aquí, en este caso los tickets son aparte. Deben obtenerse los tickets antes porque se agotan (no pudimos entrar al museo de Sisi por eso).
