Empress Sisi Museum

What to Expect

A Legendary Empress
You will learn about the incredible popularity of the Sisi image in the world and mentally walk her famous path: love at first sight, an empress at sixteen, the first European beauty, the dazzling splendor of a mature woman, and finally, a tragic death. I will reveal why Sisi became a proverb and whether she was as popular during her lifetime as she is now.

Outfits by Top Designers
You will see portraits of Sisi, her personal belongings, and numerous dresses created by top-notch masters: a reconstruction of a ball gown and a Hungarian costume for the coronation. I will talk about Sisi's 'obsession' with beauty and elegance, her exhausting physical exercises, and athletic achievements. And also why her hairstyles were tried to be replicated in all European courts, and diamond star-shaped jewelry remains a trend to this day.

Imperial Apartments and Picturesque Park
In addition to the Sisi Museum, you will visit the imperial apartments and see how the royal individuals and their courtiers lived. In conclusion, I will invite you to the romantic park, laid out in memory of Sisi by her husband, Emperor Franz Joseph. Located just steps away from the museum, it is not known to everyone and will appeal to you with its 'hidden' charm. I will talk about the symbolic layout of the park and explain why flowers of a specific color palette are planted in it. And in the finale, I will show you the lyrical sculptural ensemble of the Art Nouveau era.

Who Is This Tour For

For all interested in imperial culture. And also for those curious to understand how a vibrant personality can enter history and become an idol for centuries.
