“Very interesting to be able to see the history of the Habsburgs through the tombs of the protagonists. That of Maria Theresa, very imposing, worthy of a "mother of the country", those of Franz Joseph, the shirt Elisabeth and her son Rodolfo, so simple in their austerity, up to the bust of the last Habsburg who died in exile.” GetYourGuide traveler – Italy, December 2022 [Source: GetYourGuide] >> See More Reviews
