Vienna’s New Hofburg Palace in 1 hour with an audio guide, Habsburg history, Imperial Armoury, and Mozart-linked instruments.
“The place is amazing, but what I loved was the option of Czech language in the audio guide. My mom would struggle with English so I was very pleased. The palace is wonderful, the expositions of armor, guns and musical instruments were okay, but nothing too special, however the audio guide is telling a comprehensive story of the Habsburg family it’s history and traditions and that I loved. So while you’re looking at the expositions of armors you’re listening to tales and facts about the whole family.”
