Join us for a perfect day visiting the impressive Schönbrunn Palace and its beautiful gardens!

We begin our tour by exploring the palace rooms. Wander through the opulent state rooms and imagine yourself as Empress Sissi, stepping softly through the halls where history was made. You can feel the grandeur and the whispers of imperial life all around you. Don’t miss the stunning Great Gallery and the Hall of Mirrors. These places truly capture the elegance of a bygone era! After soaking in the history, let's grab a coffee and a pastry at Café Residenz right on the palace grounds. Perfect for a little pick-me-up.

Next, we’ll explore the vast Schönbrunn Gardens. Walk through the manicured paths, breathe in the scent of blooming flowers, and relax by the Neptune Fountain, a peaceful oasis amid the grandeur. If you’re feeling adventurous, we can visit the Schönbrunn Zoo. It is the oldest zoo in the world! It’s home to amazing animals and a great spot if you love wildlife. At the entrance of the zoo, be sure to ask if any animals have babies. There are usually adorable little ones to visit!

Time for a relaxed lunch at one of the charming nearby cafés or restaurants. How about some classic Austrian cuisine? Schnitzel, anyone? You might want to try Maxing Stüberl, a traditional restaurant dating back to 1805, known for its authentic flavors and cozy atmosphere. It is located right at the edge of Schönbrunn Botanical Gardens.

After our late lunch, we stroll through the maze and take a quiet moment at the Botanical Garden, enjoying the colorful flowers and quiet atmosphere. As the afternoon winds down, we head to the Gloriette Café to grab an ice cream and a refreshing drink while watching the evening colors from the terrace. It’s the perfect way to end our Schönbrunn adventure, feeling a bit like royalty ourselves and filled with wonderful memories before heading back.


Tip: To avoid the biggest crowds inside the rooms of Schönbrunn Palace, try visiting early in the morning, right when it opens, or later in the afternoon. Weekdays outside of peak tourist seasons, spring and early autumn, also tend to be a little quieter.
