The palace grounds are beautiful. After enjoying the historic tour inside the palace, we took a lovely walk up to a cafe that sits on a hilltop facing the castle. The garden was colorful and vibrant- great photo location. We also enjoyed to mazes and there were plenty of things for children to do- playground, zoo, etc. On our way... more

We visited the Schonbruun Palace this summer and were amazed at the beauty of both the palace and gardens. Make lots of time to see everything here. You will not be disappointed. more

We visited this beautiful place on 18th of October with our 5 year old daughter. We had such a lovely day! Our only regret is that we should have planned our day better. We ended up getting the classic passes, but should have gone for the priciest ticket, since we actually spent a whole day there and saw the palace,... more

Perfect place to visit on a beautiful day. The park is fabulous with fountains and shaped trees, and you can enter the park for free. If you want to visit the Maze, the Zoo or the Kronprinzengarten, you have to pay. The palace has an entrance fee, and I strongly recommend to take the longer tour, because the most beautiful... more

When you are in Schloss Schönbrunn visit also the Wagenburg, a must to see. I enjoyed it there to see all the carriage from long time ago. Usually you just want to sit up and take a " ride " in the park of Schloss Schönbrunn. more

As a fan of architecture and decorative arts, I was bowled over. Spring for the full palace tour; the most sumptuous, spectacular rooms are not included in the cheaper ticket. The gardens are magnificent; I recommend the Roman Ruins and the obelisk, which apparently are missed by many as they're off to the side of the garden. The private garden... more

We were staying close to this palace so were able to walk there, although there is a convenient U-Bahn stop and bus stops. This is a beautiful place with many different tour options. The palace is magnificent with many acres of grounds and gardens. It is expensive to tour the rooms, but one could see the stately outside and tour... more

It was probably the highlight of my trip to Vienna, but I found it incredibly expensive. Probably that is how it can be mantained so impecably, though. You had to pay to see the castle, then you had to pay to see the gardens and if you wanted to visit the zoo, you had to pay again! And the tickets... more

Besides being interesting inside the palace with several imperial rooms to visit through, Schloss Schonbrunn has an amazing gardens with ruins, fontains, shadows, statues, hidden spots and great view points. That Neptune Fountain is really something!... and the the view over the Gloriette!... not to mention the palace building!... all said, the palace inside is a complement of the outside,... more

I have some relatives in Slovakia and Vienna is only 1 hour away. So I make it a point to visit every time I fly to Europe. Schonburnn Palace is such a nice place. You can spend an entire day walking the grounds. The interior of the palace is quite special. Like a mini Versailles. My favourite empress, Elisabeth aka... more
