Schönbrunn Palace
Explore the opulent rooms, stroll around UNESCO gardens and learn about Habsburg history
About This Attraction
Initially envisioned as a hunting lodge for the Habsburgs, Emperor Leopold I commissioned the construction of Schönbrunn Palace at the end of the 17th century.
In the middle of the 18th century, it was converted into a residence for Maria Theresa, the only female Habsburg ruler. Since then, it has played host to the leading statespeople of Europe. 44 of its 1,441 rooms are on display to the public, and it's the most-visited attraction in Vienna.
Its gardens have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 and have been open to the Viennese public since 1779.

Misleading advertising. We paid more to get into the palace earlier than the available time slots at the museum directly and purchased tickets online. We did not get into the palace until 2 hours after the advertised entry time. They claimed the entry time was for the beginning of the tour including...
