Up to 1918, the Imperial Palace (Hofburg) was the center of the vast empire of the Habsburg dynasty. They developed the area - once envisioned as a great "Imperial Forum" - from the "Old Palace", dating from the thirteenth century, to the most recent part, dating from the time around 1900. Today, one finds more than two dozen top museum collections. In addition, there are cafés, restaurants, squares, and parks.
