BEAUTIFUL, EXTRAVAGANT, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST A PASSIONATE TRAVELER. THAT WAS SISI. Visit the favorite places of Empress Elisabeth in her native Bavaria, where she spent her childhood. Travel through her new homeland Austria, from Ischl in the Salzkammergut, where she got engaged, to Vienna. Follow her on her official trips, the first of which led to the Czech lands. Visit Sisi's beloved Hungary, which became her 'new home,' as well as the renowned spas in present-day Slovakia. Elisabeth's stays are documented by numerous letters from the empress and her closest ones, memoirs of contemporaries, and contemporary press. Information about individual locations is verified by archival documents. The publication contains many previously unpublished details from the life of the legendary empress and a rich visual documentation, including photos from Sisi's 'family album,' some of which are published for the very first time, as well as current photographs of the places this extraordinary woman visited. THE BOOK IS A UNIQUE GUIDE FOR LOVERS OF HISTORY AND ATTRACTIVE DESTINATIONS.
