The Sisi Ticket is one of Vienna’s popular combo tickets for imperial attractions. It’s designed for people who want to dive into Empress Elisabeth (“Sisi”) and Habsburg history. Here’s what’s inside:

🎟️ What’s Included in the Sisi Ticket #

(valid for 1 year from purchase, one entry per site)

  1. Schönbrunn Palace

    • Grand Tour with audio guide (or guided if you join a tour).

    • Covers 40 rooms, including private apartments of Franz Joseph & Sisi.

  2. Hofburg – Imperial Apartments, Sisi Museum & Silver Collection

    • Sisi Museum: personal items, portraits, letters.

    • Imperial Apartments: lavish rooms used by Franz Joseph & Sisi.

    • Silver Collection: imperial dining sets, porcelain, tableware.

  3. Imperial Furniture Collection (Hofmobiliendepot)

    • Massive collection of furniture from the Habsburgs.

    • Also features exhibits about Sisi in film & popular culture.

💰 Prices (2025) #

  • Adults: €36

  • Children (6–18): €21.50

  • Students: €32.50

  • Compared separately:

    • Schönbrunn Grand Tour: €24

    • Hofburg combo (Apartments + Sisi Museum + Silver): €17.50

    • Furniture Collection: €9.50

    • Total if separate: ~€51 → So you save about €15 with the Sisi Ticket.

⭐ Is It Worth It? #

✅ Worth it if…

  • You’re interested in Sisi’s life and Habsburg history.

  • You plan to visit Schönbrunn + Hofburg anyway (that already justifies the price).

  • You’ll be in Vienna for at least 2–3 days (the three sites take time).

❌ Skip it if…

  • You’re short on time (e.g., only 1–2 days in Vienna).

  • You only want to see one major palace (most people pick Schönbrunn).

  • Imperial Furniture Collection doesn’t appeal to you (it’s niche).

💡 Pro-Tips #

  • Get Schönbrunn timed entry in advance — it’s the busiest attraction. The Sisi Ticket does not give skip-the-line privilege unless you book time slots.

  • If you’re in Vienna at Christmas: Schönbrunn and Hofburg both host Christmas markets outside → you can combine festive atmosphere with your visits.

  • Combine with a Vienna City Card (for transport + discounts elsewhere) if you’re museum-hopping.

✅ Bottom line: The Sisi Ticket is good value (saves ~€15) and ideal if you’re genuinely into imperial Vienna. If you’re short on time, better to just do Schönbrunn + Hofburg separately.
