But if you want to see Schönbrunn, and don't have a ton of time, this might be the ticket for you.Rather than letting you loose in all 40 rooms that are open to the public, this Imperial Tour focuses on two of the most popular members of the Habsburg dynasty: Emperor Franz Joseph I and his wife Empress Elisabeth. You'll get an audio guide and access to 22 beautiful state rooms closely associated with Sisi and her man. There's the luxurious splendor of the Great Gallery (an ideal setting for court functions), the Oriental charm of the Chinese Cabinets as well as the astonishingly modest style of decoration in Emperor Franz Joseph's private suite. The lively and informative audio guide will bring the time period, drama and daily life of these beloved figures to life, and afterwards you can stroll the garden and reflect on the nature of love and power.
