    Schönbrunn Palace

    Back to Region Map

    Schönbrunn Palace is one of Vienna's most iconic landmarks and among Austria's most important attractions. For guests planning a day trip from the Wachau to Vienna, Schönbrunn is one of the most obvious and impressive additions. The former summer residence of the Habsburgs conveys a vivid picture of imperial history through its state rooms, expansive park and numerous visitor offerings.

    The appeal of Schönbrunn lies not only in the palace itself but in the entire ensemble. Beyond the historic interiors, the gardens, Gloriette, maze and other areas are all part of the experience. This makes Schönbrunn ideal not only for culturally minded guests but also for visitors who want to experience Vienna in a particularly representative and accessible way.

    For Wachau holidaymakers, Schönbrunn is a strong complement because it offers a day trip with great impact: Baroque splendour, sweeping gardens and a piece of Austrian history all in one place.
