Imperial Treasury: Entrance

In the oldest part of the Hofburg Palace is the Imperial Treasury, a unique collection assembled by the Habsburgs over more than 800 years. Its 21 rooms display jewels, crowns, scepters, orbs, weapons, vestments and other symbols of power, including the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire. In addition to its historical value, the collection dazzles for its luxury and includes curious pieces, such as the alleged "unicorn horn", probably a narwhal tusk. The tour, which can be done in less than three hours, is an ideal option for those who enjoy art, history and shiny objects, before continuing to discover Vienna.
