Visit Schonbrunn in 2024

Schönbrunn is one of the most iconic landmarks in Austria and is often cited as a must-see location in Vienna. It was originally built as a hunting lodge before being transformed into a regal residence for the Habsburg emperors. From the stunning Great Gallery to the opulent staterooms, each room in the palace tells a story of extravagance and history. The palace is also home to the oldest operating zoo in the world, Tiergarten Schönbrunn, which dates back to 1752.
The Schönbrunn Gardens are another high point, offering a place to wander and contemplate the artistic genius that created such an idyllic landscape. The gardens feature a series of elaborate fountains, statues, and artificial Roman ruins. The site also includes the Gloriette, a grand structure that sits atop a hill and offers panoramic views of Vienna.
Throughout the year, the estate hosts numerous events, including classical concerts, seasonal markets, and festivals. A visit to Schönbrunn Palace offers not only a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle of the emperors but also a comprehensive cultural experience, blending history, art, and nature seamlessly.
