Itinerary
Boasting a rich history of more than three centuries, the Schonbrunn Palace is renowned for its gracefully imposing Neo-Classical facade. Within its walls, the opulence of Baroque interiors unfolds, featuring cream and gold-adorned walls, luxurious royal scarlet silken furniture, a multitude of priceless paintings and artworks, and a stunning display of crystal chandeliers. Exclusively offered to select partners of the Palace, the "Highlights" ticket provides access to the most exquisite sections of the palace, surpassing the offerings of a standard ticket.
The tour includes the highlights of the Baroque interior and a fascinating introduction and orientation of the extensive gardens designed by a disciple of Andre Le Notre, landscape architect of Versailles. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Great Parterre grounds on your own, mirroring the pastime of aristocrats from bygone eras.
