Empress Sisi

Have you always wanted to learn more about Empress Sisi? Across the street from Time Travel Vienna, there is a new attraction called “Sisi’s Amazing Journey” that provides a humorous and informative look into her life.

The life of Empress Sisi

Empress Sisi had an exciting life. As a Bavarian country girl, she married Emperor Franz Joseph at a very young age of 16 and moved to the Viennese court. At 20 she was already the mother of 3 children, a fourth child followed 10 years later. As a balance to the rather conservative Viennese court ceremonial, Sisi traveled a lot and found much strength in sports and literature.

The joie de vivre of the Hungarians inspired her and so she also spent a lot of time there and was very committed to the unification of Austria-Hungary. Sisi’s body cult was legendary and a great role model for many. Her end was tragic, she was murdered by an anarchist in Geneva, she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sisi’s life was filmed many times, the trilogy with Romy Schneider and Karl Heinz Böhm was a world success.
