Additional information

• Arrive by 9:30am or later in the afternoon to enjoy a calmer atmosphere; midday tends to draw the heaviest crowds.
• The main visitor entrance to the Hofburg Palace is at the Weltmuseum Wien on Heldenplatz, next to the large equestrian statue of Archduke Charles and opposite the Burgtor gate.

• Set aside a full hour or up to 90 minutes for the Treasury’s regalia and treasures.

• When exploring the Imperial Treasury, don’t miss the Agate Bowl, a massive stone bowl carved from a single piece of agate dating to the 4th century, long thought to be the Holy Grail due to the natural inclusion of XRISTO in the veining.
