The basics

Spanning almost 300 acres (more than one square kilometer), the Schlosspark Schönbrunn is considered one of the most beautiful gardens in Europe. The original baroque-style layout, along with the additions made during the last decade of Queen Maria Theresa’s life, have more or less been retained.

Highlights of the grounds include the ornate Obelisk Fountain, Gloriette, Privy Garden, Orangery Garden, and Desert House. Take in the gardens as part of a guided or independent tour of the Schönbrunn Palace or a larger Vienna city tour. You can visit on foot or purchase a ticket for the mini-train to take in the major landmarks without getting footsore.

Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace

This palatial imperial residence was built in a baroque style at the end of the 17th century, and became the focal point of lavish court life during the reign of Maria Theresa in the 18th century. Today visitors can tour the interiors to admire sumptuous frescoes and stucco work, fine furnishings, and original architecture.
