Imperial Palace (Hofburg) and butterflies

Traces of the beautiful Sissi

At the Imperial Apartment and Sisi Museum visitor of all age can find out all about Empress Elisabeth: her beautiful dresses, her fearlessness as a horsewoman, her beauty sectrets and the way that she liked to have her shining long hair styled.

Children's guided tours (in German only, for children aged 6 - 11) finish up with a chance to dress up in truly "imperial" clothes. Check the website for exceptions to the dates at https://www.kindermuseumschoenbrunn.at/

Butterfly House

Take a stroll to the Butterfly House in the garden of the Imperial Palace (Burggarten). Wander past waterfalls and giant trees surrounded by hundreds of free-flying exotic butterflies. With any luck your children might even get to witness a butterfly emerging from its pupa.

Tip: pack a snack and enjoy a picnic in the neighboring Burggarten.
