Hofburg Imperial Palace
For over 600 years the Vienna Hofburg was the residence of the Austrian sovereigns. Over the course of the centuries it developed into one of the most important centres of European history. It was from here that the Habsburgs reigned from the 13th century, at first as rulers of the Austrian patrimonial lands, from 1452 as emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, and finally as emperors of Austria from 1806 until the end of the monarchy in 1918.
OPTIONAL TOUR – CITY WALK
An optional Vienna Sightseeing Tour – the "Classic City Walk" - is offered to all conference participants and accompanying persons to get to know the highlights of "Old Vienna". The tour is based on a minimum number of 20 participants and includes informative English commentary and all entry fees.
