Unique experience, totally worth it!
Our favorite experience during our visit to Austria. Exploring the interiors of Schönbrunn Palace after dark provided an intimate atmosphere that is hard to describe. Listening to Mozart on the Schönbrunn estate in the evening is like stepping back into the 18th century. The VIP option was a hit because we got the royal treatment: from the cloakroom, the champagne, the priority entry, the great seats. We appreciate experiences like this and recommend it to anyone visiting Vienna at some point!
Great tour without crowds and a great concert too!
We’d toured Schönbrunn years ago, but this was different—walking the palace halls without crowds after dark was magical. The concert in the Orangery, with Mozart and Strauss, was breathtaking. The tour and concert together made for a perfect experience. Highly recommended!

LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE HABSBURG DYNASTY
Accompanied with an audio guide, you will explore the various rooms in the Schönbrunn Palace. Use this guide to learn about the history of the Habsburg Dynasty and the artistic significance of the rooms you visit. The Great Gallery and the Hall of Ceremonies are noteworthy rooms on your audio tour. The Great Gallery was used for courtly events, given its tremendous size of 141 feet (43 meters) by 33 feet (10 meters). It features incredible details, such as two breathtaking carved wooden and gilt chandeliers. However, the most significant artistic draw would have to be the frescoes on the ceiling, depicting Maria Theresa, her armies, and a symbolic depiction of Pax Austriaca. The Hall of Ceremonies was used to receive guests and give them an audience. It is also famous for paintings showing important historical events, such as the marriage of Crown Prince Joseph in 1760. In the Hall of Ceremonies, there is also the most famous portrait of Maria Theresa as the “First Lady of Europe”. Use your audio guide to learn additional information!

Mozart performed at Schönbrunn Palace at the age of 6
Yes, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart famously performed at Schönbrunn Palace when he was just six years old. In 1762, together with his sister Nannerl, he played for the imperial family, and Emperor Franz I Stephan was deeply impressed by the young prodigy’s talent. This early performance marked the beginning of Mozart’s lifelong connection to Vienna, the city that would later celebrate him as one of its greatest composers. Today, visitors can still feel this rich musical heritage at the Mozart and Strauss Concert in Schönbrunn Palace, where timeless works are performed in the very place where Mozart once amazed the court.
