Love and marriage in the House of Habsburg
This special Vienna walking tour is dedicated to the marriages of the Habsburgs, which were far more than private matters – they shaped power, territories, and the fate of Europe.
The tour takes you to historic locations in Vienna where emperors, archdukes, and princesses were married. From magnificent ceremonies to political alliances, you will experience the history of Habsburg weddings up close.
From Maximilian I and Mary of Burgundy to Maria Theresa and Francis Stephen, and from Franz Joseph to Elisabeth, this tour reveals the many different ways marriage was lived – between duty, affection, and personal destiny.
Alongside historical events, the tour also explores timeless questions: Why do we marry? And what happens when personal wishes meet the expectations of family or politics?
