A generation ago, I visited Schonbrunn and walked through its gardens. I was student at the time, living on £4 a day and the Palace itself was beyond my means. But the multi-faceted gardens have the capacity to make you relax completely within seconds of entering them. And there is also a zoo at Schonbrunn, which plays host to two... More

The Christmas Market was my favorite - the only downside was getting lost when we tried to walk back to the Ubahn from the top viewpoint. Fortunately a couple of friendly Austrians put us on the right track. A LONG walk in the cold, though! More

The palace is restored perfectly. The gardens with walking trails and mazes along with the very nice zoo is super. Don't miss it. The small coffee shop has great deserts and treats too. More
