    Sisi Museum

    June 7, 2024 in Austria ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Today, we attended a performance of the International renowned Spanish Riding School, with the world famous Lipizzan horses located in the heart of Vienna's Hofburg Imperial Palace
    Unfortunately, no photography was permitted while the horses were performing, only at the very end.
    Next, we visited Sisi Museum - in honour of Empress Elisabeth of Austria and Queen of Hungary (known affectionatelyby her family members as Sisi,) who was betrothed to Emperor Franz Joseph I at 15 years of age until her death by assassination in 1898

    TravelerOne and only picture captured at the end of the performanceWhat fantastic building to sit in. I imagine it was hugely expensive but I’d say even if the horses were unco it would be worth the money.
