We loved it there! The zoo was actually so amazing. But keep in mind that you need at least 5-6 hours for the zoo alone. The only thing that kind of made us mad was the lady at the ticket place in Schönbrunn. She told us that we should buy the zoo ticket and Schönbrunn ticket separately. Well that was a big mistake. The ticket for Schönbrunn was 28€ for students and the zoo ticket was 25-28€ for a...

This is an absolutely beautiful palace and it has so much to offer! There is a zoo, an orangery, a giant hill overlooking the entire city, and so many beautiful flowers! If you have the chance to go, take it! You will learn so much about Maria Theresa, Franz Joseph, and especially Sissi! ♾️/5 Cannot recommend enough!

Schönbrunn Palace is a must when in Vienna. Its easily accessible via public transportation. And a tour guide is not necessary to view and enjoy all that there is to see. Wear your walking shoes though. They have gift shops and restaurants on site. They offer an entertaining and informative video presentation on the history of the Palace. Very highly recommended!

Also beautiful place to click a photo or two. As the garden is so huge I saw some people th...
