New Hofburg Palace — a stunning destination and I highly recommend to anyone coming to Vienna. I used Headout to book the Palace entry and audio guide--1000% satisfied. The Headout website and app were very easy to navigate. After checking several vendors, Headout offered the best price, sent the ticket immediately after purchase to my e-mail, and provided clear instructions for pickup. Highly recommended Headout for anyone visiting Vienna with friends or family — it removes the stress of waiting in long line. Five stars!

It's nice inside but it has nothing related to the Austro-Hungarian Empire or Austria, it has armour, musical instruments and various other exhibits from African, Asian and Indian cultures. Still it is quite interesting and has very good explanations with the audioguide.

Explore the New Hofburg Palace with a self-guided audio tour, including access to the Imperial Armoury and historic musical instruments.

Dive into 650 years of Habsburg history, from royal intrigue to legendary artifacts, at Vienna’s iconic palace museum.

Marvel at treasures like suits of armor, historic weapons, and a fortepiano once played by Mozart.

Audio commentary brings the rise and fall of the Habsburg dynasty to life, available in 10 languages.

The staff gave a great explanation, and the audio was loud enough but not TOO loud. It was easy to understand and very detailed.
