Schloss Schönbrunn is one of the most iconic landmarks in Vienna, Austria, and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996. It served as the primary summer residence for the Habsburg rulers and is celebrated for its stunning Baroque architecture, lavish interiors, and expansive gardens.
The gardens are just as impressive, sprawling over 160 hectares. Designed in the Baroque style, they’re meant to extend the palace’s grandeur outdoors. Highlights include the Gloriette, a hilltop structure with panoramic views of Vienna (where Franz Joseph liked to breakfast), the Neptune Fountain, and the world’s oldest zoo, Tiergarten Schönbrunn, founded in 1752 by Maria Theresa’s husband, Franz I Stephan. The park’s free to roam year-round, opening daily at 6:30 AM, though attractions like the zoo or the maze require tickets.
