The former summer residence of the Habsburgs is sure to make an imperial impression with its ceremonial rooms and magnificent gardens. Once the residence of Maria Theresia, Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Sisi, the Schönbrunn Palace is among the most beautiful Baroque buildings in Europe.

While your are there, you can pop by the Gloriette at the top of the hill for a glorious view of the city and surrounding gardens. Afterwards, catch a merry puppet show at the zoo’s Marionette theater or take a spin through the Imperial Carriage Museum.
