The main rooms at the Sisi museum are very interesting. However it felt very closed in and too dark in the corridor parts to enjoy the exhibition. We had two groups one in front and one behind and felt all the time pressure to move on. So really did not enjoy the tour and did not feel the tour was worth it.

This place is a must visit for everyone planning on heading to Vienna! It was a bit smaller than I expected but still worth a visit. I loved all the exhibitions and how beautifully they were set up. The Sisi Museum is definitely one of the most historical and aesthetic places to see in the city.

We didn’t go inside after reading mixed reviews, but the building from the outside is absolutely stunning. It’s part of the Hofburg Palace complex, with grand architecture, domes, and arches. The museum sits on a lovely square, surrounded by impressive buildings, shops, and cafés, so it’s a great place to stroll around and soak up the atmosphere.
