Within reasonable walking distance of the city centre, vast expanse of beautiful parkland with avenues of trees and fountains, a variety of great buildings - the palace itself, galleries, organgery, palm house, etc.

The palace is wonderful, and deserve a visit, and the gardens.... you could spend a full day in there. They are huge perfectly maintained and have a free access. You have to pay if you want to visit the funny maze that is very good for children.

We didn't go to the palace itself, but paid full tribute to the park and it's paid exhibitions such as: 1.

Schonbrunn is very easy to get to by metro. If you have already seen the Hofburg Palace don't spend the money touring the inside which is about the same as the Hofburg palace. Just go visit the VERY IMPRESSIVE garden which is FREE.

Beautiful palace but the gardens and park really make this special and worth entry fee. Recommendation is get there early when they opened. Take U4 and we got there right at a little before 8:30am.
