Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna

Schönbrunn was the Habsburgs’ summer residence, set within an expansive historic garden landscape on Vienna’s western edge. Its palace interiors and outdoor grounds offer different experiences, so plan them separately rather than trying to see everything in a rushed visit.

Palace rooms and the wider ensemble

The residence developed over generations into a centre of imperial court life. The garden axis extends from the palace across formal parterres toward the Neptune Fountain and the Gloriette. UNESCO recognises the palace and gardens together as a World Heritage property.
