The corridors in the Sisi Museum are narrow, crowded and loud, so you will need to stay close to the guide.

Commentary in 1 selected language only.

Not suitable for individuals with disabilities.

No luggage storage for bags, extra clothing etc. Pets are not allowed.

The gardens are not green or lit in winter—book a morning tour. For guest safety, itinerary may be altered in case of extreme weather (e.g. heavy snow). From 08.11 to 31.12, you can visit a local Christmas Market instead.
