#1 Schönbrunn Palace: The palace itself is the undisputed main attraction. It’s one of the most impressive and beautiful palace buildings from the baroque era in Europe. The palace is full of superlatives and it is rightfully one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Sisi had a total of 1441 rooms at Schönbrunn Palace at their disposal.

#2 Gloriette: The Gloriette rises majestically above Schönbrunn Palace and its gardens. From here we can enjoy a fantastic view of Vienna. This was once Emperor Franz Joseph’s favorite place for breakfast. It’s no wonder with these views.

#3 Schönbrunn Zoo: This list would be incomplete without the Schönbrunn Zoo. After all, it’s one of Vienna’s most popular destinations for day trips. It’s the oldest zoo in the world that is still in operation and at the same time one of the best and modern of its kind worldwide.

#4 Maze & Labyrinth: At one time, the maze was for the pleasure of the Habsburgs only. Now everyone can experience this entertainment from imperial times. Who will be first to find a path through the winding passages of the maze?

#5 Palm House: The Palm House is divided into three pavilions with different climate zones. As a result, the temperatures range between 8 and 17 degrees Celsius. A 2,500 m² area accommodates numerous plants from Mediterranean, tropical and subtropical regions.

#6 Park at Schönbrunn Palace: As the crowning glory, we certainly mustn’t forget to allow enough time for the Palace Park around Schönbrunn Palace. The park itself is worth a trip.
