I feel a bit quirky, but throughout the tour, I couldn’t stop picturing what it must have been like to live here in the past, riding on horseback through these beautiful gardens. The guide was so friendly, creating a good vibe. I also opted for the palace tour, which was equally impressive. Standing in the Grand Gallery was such a beautiful feeling for me. Book this tour when visiting Vienna, it's worth it.
If you are in Vienna, don’t miss a tour of the Schönbrunn Gardens! I was blown away by the size of the gardens. I loved seeing the Neptune Fountain and the Glorietta. The rose garden is beautiful as well. I learned a lot about the origins of the gardens and the emperors who enjoyed them. Overall, the tour was great, and I definitely recommend it!

SCHÖNBRUNN GARDENS - ITS HISTORY AND CONTENTS
After meeting your guide, skip the line and commence your tour immediately. While exploring the Schönbrunn Gardens, you will notice how cohesive they are in their design. The palace gardens were extended in Baroque style during Empress Maria Theresa’s reign. At that point, they were constructed to follow an organic continuation of the Schönbrunn Palace’s interior. In the Schönbrunn Gardens, you will encounter various Baroque-style features, from fountains and sculptures to diverse structures such as the Gloriette and the Palm House, among many others. The Gloriette was mainly used as an excursion place for monarchs and to organize balls. The Palm House, being 371 feet (113 meters) long and 92 feet (28 meters) high, features three pavilions with distinct plant collections requiring different microclimates.
EXPLORE THE LUXURY INTERIOR OF THE PALACE TOO
After completing your tour of the Schönbrunn Gardens, you may proceed on a tour of the Schönbrunn Palace - the imperial summer residence. You will also be given priority access here, so your tour will start without delay. See the Baroque style's interior which is filled with details and has been practically left untouched since 1918. Follow your guide and visit 22 different rooms, all offering something unique. Noteworthy rooms include Emperor Franz Joseph’s apartments and the Great Gallery. See where Emperor Franz Joseph lived with his wife, Empress Elisabeth. You will see the luxury and immaculate attention to detail displayed in the living chambers of the imperial family. The Great Gallery, famous for the fantastic Rococo fresco on the ceiling, boasts an impressive size, making it perfect for holding courtly events.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR TOUR AND END WITH MUSIC
A private guide will join you on this tour. Use this chance to customize your itinerary and personalize your experience. You may hang around Franz Joseph Apartments a bit longer than the Great Gallery, or vice versa. Make sure to use the opportunity to ask any additional questions that may come to mind while exploring the Schönbrunn Estate. After your garden walk or palace visit, many guests like to round off the day with Schönbrunn Concert Tickets. The Mozart & Strauss Concert in Schönbrunn Palace is a perfect way to complement the cultural journey, enjoying world-class music in the same historic setting where Vienna’s greatest composers once performed.
