* Beautiful, athletic, smart, wife, mother, Empress. "How did all this fit together in one woman?" you ask me. The ladies on my tours say, "There is power, there is will, but there is no willpower." Who am I talking about? Of course, about the Austrian Empress, the unforgettable Sissi. It was a family name, and the name of our Bavarian princess was Amalia Eugenia Elizabeth. The girl grew up at her father's Bavarian court and did not know grief until Louis's mother made a strategic mistake by taking her youngest daughter to her cousin's birthday celebrations. And he was also the emperor of Austria. Franz Joseph fell in love with the princess in earnest and made a marriage proposal. What am I getting at? In Vienna, there is the Empress Sissi Museum, where Elizabeth's "life ordeals" are described in detail and with taste. It is sometimes amazing how "hard" the imperial wives lived. The emperor's husband did not get up from the table from five in the morning, he worked like a slave on the galleys. Sissy's day was also scheduled by the minute. And everything for my beloved: I had to comb out my braids, pump up my figure on gym rings, and make up a menu in order to keep my wasp waist and not lose a single gram. And Greek, and poetry, and walking for miles? Do you think it's easy to be an empress? No. Our darling was spinning like a squirrel in a wheel. Therefore, depression was her eternal companion. How was she treated? I'll tell you about it at the museum. I will tell you in detail how she came to such a life and how the life path of the intelligent and beautiful Elizabeth of Bavaria ended. I won't hide anything from you. Are you ready to follow in the footsteps of the restless Austrian Empress with me? Then let's go! The start time of the tour is agreed with the guide.
