Neue Hofburg
The newest and largest section of the Imperial Palace. It contains the Welt Museum Wien, the Papyrus Museum, and three branches of the Museum of Fine Arts.
The House of Austrian History is a modern museum located in the Hofburg complex that explores Austria’s history from the late 19th century to the present. Through multimedia exhibits and historical artefacts, it focuses on key events such as the end of the Habsburg monarchy, the World Wars, and the development of the modern Austrian state.
Butterfly House
A tropical greenhouse with an amazing collection of live butterflies, will delight both children and adults.
Imperial Treasury; aka the Secular and Ecclesiastical Treasures
The best part of the Hofburg and an absolute must. It contains the Habsburgs' collection of jewels, crowns, and other valuables, perhaps the best on the Continent. Second only to a tour of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, of which the Schatzkammer is a part. There are 20 rooms of priceless treasures that give a fairly accurate representation of the ceremonial Habsburg court life over the centuries.
State Hall
This magnificent historic library was designed by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and built in 1726. As well as the spectacular room itself, you can see temporary exhibitions on various historical subjects.
Chapel of the Imperial Palace
The original chapel of the Palace, built in Gothic style 1447-1449, was made over in Baroque style. On Sundays and Catholic holidays (of which the Austrians celebrate many), the Court Musicians perform here. This group is made up of members from the Vienna Boys Choir, as well as performers from the orchestra and choir of the Vienna State Opera. Tickets can be purchased online here.
