2.New Hofburg Palace Audio-Guided Tour & Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 566 reviews · 1 hour · from $27

“Easy to find ticket counter. Overall nice place. Signage pointing out the numbers of exhibits for audio guide could be clearer. Exhibit is comprised of 50% suits of armor and 50% antique music instruments- or it felt like it. If those aren’t your main interests- just photograph the outside.”
