Schönbrunn Palace
The magnificent Schönbrunn Palace was used as the summer
residence of the Hapsburgs from the 18th century onwards. Set
amongst superb gardens this vast, symmetrical structure is
everything you would imagine an imperial palace to be. A tour of
the palace offers visitors the chance to view the superb assortment
of Baroque and Rococo State Rooms and to admire the famous ceiling
frescoes of the Great Gallery and the Hall of Mirrors where Mozart
once played. The vast gardens are popular with locals and tourists
alike, and include a zoo, a maze and labyrinth, the Privy garden,
and the Gloriette with viewing terrace. Also within the grounds,
the Orangery plays host to classical concerts during the summer
season.
