The Imperial Palace is the largest castle in the city and one of the major attractions. It is a complex building with plenty of historical significance, but also very important in the present, since one of them is the residence of the President of Austria.
Located in the old part of the city beside the Danube, Sissi houses the museum and the imperial halls, a church, the Austrian National Library and the president's home.
A visit to this palace is memorable and you should know that each of the rulers of the empire was commissioned to add their own touch to one of its buildings, thanks to that, this walk through the palace is like strolling through the history of this city.
When I went to Vienna I was not sure whether I would find an attraction like this in the city, the monuments colossal dimensions are worthy of admiration.
It is rather curious that the front of the building, despite being awesome, is quite austere and was built in an elegant and classic style, however this all changes once you get inside. The ceremonial hall in the palace or the national library are two buildings that are filled from top to bottom with murals, marble and gold sculptures in which the details are exquisite, illuminated by a dim light that highlights its elegance.
Walking around is like you have been transported back in time to an era of kings. These groups were dancing to the nobility of a continent for centuries, as they witnessed large banquets and represented the power of an empire. There are too many things to see and there are not enough words to describe them.
This palace is one of the best I've seen in Europe and is definitely something worth seeing.
