Schönbrunn Palace

Visit Empress Sisi's former summer residence. This baroque complex contains an enchanting park, the Palm House, the Gloriette, and a zoo. Spend an entire day at Schönbrunn; visit the show rooms with a "Grand Tour with Audio Guide," admire the splendid Bergl Rooms, and stroll through the "Labyrinth."

Schönbrunn Palace, the former summer residence of the imperial family, is one of Europe's most impressive Baroque palace complexes. Emperor Franz Joseph, who later married the enchanting Sisi and reigned from 1848 to 1916, was born here in 1830. The monarch spent his last years entirely in the palace, which became the property of the new Republic of Austria only two years after his death. Today, the palace is part of UNESCO's cultural heritage due to its historic importance, its unique grounds, and its splendid furnishings.
