The Hofburg

The Hofburg : The Michelin guide review

A former imperial palace, the majestic Hofburg was the Habsburg winter residence until 1918. An extraordinary range of buildings and historic collections, it has been added to down the centuries with each period leaving its mark; pomp, charm and extreme elegance in turn. As with the empire of which it formed the very centre, this palace (even more sprawling than the Louvre in Paris) was added to successively over the passage of the centuries.
