• Collection of Old Musical Instruments: Admire historic harpsichords, violins, and lutes, including works by Stradivari, and learn how music was woven into courtly life.

• Imperial Armory: View gilded armor, ornate swords, and ceremonial weapons, each a testament to imperial power and craftsmanship.

Good to know

Carry a valid photo ID, especially if you booked your tickets online, as some staff may request it at entry.
Bring along a small backpack with a sunhat, sunglasses, and a water bottle.
Choose supportive, closed shoes since you’ll be walking extensively over stone floors, uneven cobblestones, and large open courtyards.
Pack your own headphones for a better audio-guide experience, and opt for a wired pair instead of Bluetooth to avoid connection issues.
A light scarf or cardigan is handy if you’re visiting in spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November), as open courtyards can feel breezy even on sunny days.
Carry a compact umbrella or rain jacket if you’re visiting during Vienna’s wetter months (April, May, September, and October).
