Sisi Museum
7 Jun 2024, 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 1898Baca lagi

PengembaraReally funny is that it's in a really nondescript area, and we were just walking past on our way back to our accommodation and the Gold us what caught our eye, otherwise we probably would have walked straight past without realising the significance of it

After our Best of Prague Walking Tour yesterday, we decided to catch the tram back up to Prague Castle and venture into much of what we passed on the outside only!
Inside the incredible St Vitus Cathedral with its amazing stained glass windows, then to the Old Palace with the Coat of Arms of highest officials of the Bohemian Kingdom
Then we visit St George Basilica (the oldest building in Prague Castle) and finally Golden Lane, with the original period homes of early attempts to create gold and a vast array of period Armour and Weapons.Baca lagi
