Attractions distribution:

The history of the Hofburg Palace can be traced back to 1279. Almost every generation of emperors rebuilt or expanded their own palaces. The entire palace has thus become a witness to various European architectural styles, whether it is Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, or the imitation-classical style of the late 2nd century, traces of them can be found in the Hofburg Palace complex.
The Habsburg dynasty ruled the Holy Roman Empire of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Hofburg Palace, and the Austrian President's official residence is still here today. In the 700-year history of the Hofburg Palace, it records the prosperity of the empire under the enlightened rule of Empress Maria Theresa, the brilliant achievements of Joseph II who inherited his mother's business and implemented drastic reforms, and of course, the shame of Emperor Franz I marrying his daughter off to quell the dispute with Napoleon, and the rise and fall of the multi-ethnic country during the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I.
