Sisi—Empress Between Myth and Freedom

A special guided tour on the life of Empress Elisabeth.

Empress Elisabeth of Austria—better known as Sisi—is one of the most fascinating figures in Austrian history. But who was the woman behind the myth? Beyond the romanticized image and the famous Sisi movies, this guided tour offers a glimpse into the historical Elisabeth: an extraordinary, contradictory, and at the same time tragic figure. Embark on an exciting journey between legend and reality and discover an empress who was, in many ways, even ahead of her time.
