They say please do not take pictures.. then when u do someone else comes up to you and says it’s forbidden to take pictures, then someone starts following you to make sure u take no pictures, either yes or no.. but like this is quite annoying! They are quite unfriendly! The Imperial suites are offcourse a must see! Great!

I visited using the Innsbruck card. The imperial apartments alone are worth the visit. Although smaller than the Schonbrunn Palace, the Hofburg is much quieter and you can take your time examining each room and the displays there in relative peace and quiet. The staff in the apartments are proactive and helpful in providing directions, and explaining the mirrors in the Giant's Hall. As with the Schonbrunn Palace, photos are not allowed in the apartments, and the staff also see to that. These mirrors are great for seeing the ceiling murals really clearly without having to strain your neck to look upwards. A strong recommendation if you have the Innsbruck card and 1-2 hours to spare.

The Hofburg had more to see than I expected, and we spent 1-1.25 hours in just the apartments, but could easily spend more if wanting to thoroughly read all information. It is more of a museum than staged apartments, though does have a few rooms like the throne room, dining room, and sitting room in a staged way. Signs throughout are very informative and in German, English, and Italian, and an audio guide is also available. There is a lift, and toilets looked to be on each floor. No photos are allowed inside, and the guards took great pains to remind everyone of this.

Saw many cool things in the museum. There was a huge room full of paintings on the walls and on the ceiling and is very magnificent. We went there when it’s about to close and everything was a bit rushed. So it’s better to save 1-1.5 hrs for this place as it’s quite big.
