Tour Details
Your experience Combine the palace and zoo in one itinerary and visit two of Vienna’s main attractions without the need for separate trips. Both are located within the same UNESCO-listed grounds, allowing a short walk from imperial staterooms to animal habitats—saving travel time, reducing costs, and enabling a full day focused on history and nature. Walk in the footsteps of royalty Enter the former summer residence of the Habsburgs with priority entry, avoiding long queues. Led by your expert English or German-speaking guide, you will visit 22 State Rooms featuring gilded ceilings, intricate chandeliers, and rich wall coverings that reflect centuries of imperial power and prestige.
As you move through these rooms, hear detailed accounts of grand banquets, political intrigue, and the personal lives of the monarchy that once lived at Schönbrunn. Baroque beauty beyond the Palace walls Walk through the Palace Gardens and Courtyards, bordered by sculpted hedges, observe ornate fountains decorated with mythological figures, and pause to view the palace’s golden façade. Seasonal changes bring spring tulips, summer roses, or autumn foliage, while winter snow creates a quiet, storybook setting. From hidden pathways to large open lawns, each area provides a different view of this historic landscape.
Face-to-face with 700+ species A 10-minute walk from the palace gates is Schönbrunn Zoo, the oldest in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site. With priority entry, proceed directly inside to see over 700 species from all continents, including giant pandas and Siberian tigers, as well as the animals in the rainforest house.
