One word: HUGE! Go back in time and feel the breath of Sisi in this venue. You can take several tours, I recommend to take the Grand Tour! The gardens are free to visit and offers a spectacular sight

Beautiful palace, a gem of Austrian baroque architecture, accompanied with amazing gardens for long promenades. Good news: free admission to the gardens.

Absolutely amazing, even though they don't allow pictures inside. Spend a good half a day here. Do the Grand Tour to immerse yourself truly into the history of the dynasty and this palace.
Mark BJune 28, 2018
Beautiful palace! Very large garden grounds. No pictures allowed inside :( All of the rooms are decorated with period pieces from 17th-19th century Hapsburg And Napoleonic Eras.
Florian LecoqApril 15, 2016
This place is really beautiful! Nice place to walk and to enjoy the sun! I would recommend to just take the full palace ticket because the park is free and the other tickets doesn't worth it...
Zoya YepremNovember 21, 2016
We took the grand tour for 16.40 € / adult with an audio guide that was very helpful. The palace is magnificent and the garden is perfect as well but better to comeback on summer to enjoy it most.

Get the ticket for the castle online to skip the cue. Difficult to park nearby, come with a cab. The park is immense, you can avoid all the paid for attractions and just walk for hours in this marvel.

Beautiful royal palace and one of the most tourist attractions in Vienna. Amazing garden to spend you day on. Don’t miss climbing up the hill to enjoy the view over the city.
Ghazal NkzOctober 29, 2017
It is a must seen in Vienna, it will take one day to visit the zoo and another whole day one day to visit everything in classic pass tickets so make sure to consider the time
Grazyna OAugust 13, 2014
Impressive. This castle has never been ruined so you get to see the original decorations, paintings and furniture. They sell stamps in the souvenir shop on your way out.

Here's how to do it: get a Grand Tour ticket from a ticket machine, bypassing the queue. Get an audio guide on your way in, and then head to the gardens behind the palace afterwards. Enjoy!
Magdalena MrázkováMay 14, 2018
Truly beautiful palace - I recommend to buy the pass to go to grand tour of the palace and into the different parts of the garden complex, it’s really worth it
Serhii LutskoJuly 4, 2017
Well, the place is gorgeous. It is in a high demand and definitely worth to see. The park is beautiful too so make sure you buy the extended tickets with the park included.
Thais BenevidesOctober 30, 2014
Don't buy the ticket for the Gloriette and the private garden! You can walk to the Gloriette and have pratically the same view! Also it's not allowed to walk inside the private garden anyways :/

This Rococo-style residence where the Hapsburg rulers used to vacation is a great place to visit in the summer. The best part is the Kronprinzgarten, with rare citrus fruit trees that smell heavenly.
Khaled ☤July 25, 2015
Take the grand tour to cover the most important parts of this palace in one hour and use the audio guide to help take you through the history of the rooms!
Aline TheunsJuly 16, 2017
A must see for everyone! We bought the 'grand tour' ticket (online!) and could see the palace, gardens, maze, gloriette... very nice! Only 15 mins with car from inner stad.
Otel.comNovember 15, 2011
This is one of Vienna's most important monuments. A place for monarchs, this huge area is home to amazing gardens and sculptures that are sure to delight all visitors. Don't miss the French Garden.
Ryan TauerDecember 19, 2016
The tour was ok, but the palace grounds are top notch and free! Fantastic views and gardens. Be sure to go all the way to the pavilion/restaurant! They also had a great Christmas market
Tia VasiljevicAugust 11, 2018
We bought the Grand Tour tickets where we checked out 40 rooms in the palace with a small device full of historic information. Was very interesting! Loved it!
Ele Gagnidze 유April 13, 2016
Beautiful & rich palace. Long que for the tickets. Buy ticket to see all 40 rooms. No need to buy one for gardens. Most part of gardens is public & free to visit.
Tia VasiljevicAugust 11, 2018
There is this hill behind the palace which is great for picnics and just to hang around. Either with friends or relaxing solo with a great book. Check it out!
Simone MirukuOctober 6, 2016
Beautiful place, definitely a must for anyone visiting Vienna. Worth seeing all rooms and I recommend getting the Sisi package. Good historic complement for who is going to or have visited Versailles
AlexandrosDecember 16, 2014
Words can't describe this. Definitely on the top of the list of places you absolutely have to visit in Vienna. Also, the royal family's internal issues is the focus of the guided tour for some reason.
Emily CheungNovember 1, 2016
Beautiful Palace, amazing garden, little train service was useful to go to Palm House, Zoo and Gloriette for amazing views. Also sat and relaxed on the grass outside the palace which was awesome.
ChrisAugust 18, 2013
It's nice and all...but there really needs to be seating, in the shade, for people who don't want to use the cafe to sit and eat/drink while they wait for their tours to start. It's very inhospitable.
Gabi BulumacMay 30, 2014
Emperor Matthias, discovered a spring while hunting here and he said 'So ein schöner Brunnen' (what a beautiful spring), that led to Schönbrunn a magnificent palace surrounded by beautiful gardens !!
Marianna RNovember 26, 2018
Massive place to walk around - mainly to admire the palace and statues. Nice during Xmas and Easter with small stands and lighting around. Madness around toilets - beware. Pay2go inside when it rains
Angela WuDecember 21, 2017
Intricate palace with a detailed audio tour of the royal family that once inhabited it. During December, the front is scattered with Christmas markets (not as nice as the one in Rathauspark tho)
Elvan KamaSeptember 8, 2013
It has very huge garden and also giant maze. I think also it has the biggest zoo in its garden. You can climb the top of the garden and see all of the city view. Prenses Sisi had lived here.
Ertan OnatJune 27, 2016
The perfect art of sclupture and green. It has a huge garden with a symetry. If you go there after the zoo, you won' have enough time and power to wander around.
Stephen CrockerDecember 7, 2014
The gardens are enough to keep you busy for the day. The mazes, the tropical gardens and the Gloriette are worth a visit and the cafe is good for lunch (if you want cake).
Emily LOctober 26, 2015
the palace is pretty (no pics inside), but the garden is where it's at. climb the hill for good views, go to the maze for adventure
David AllenMarch 28, 2016
Amazing day out. Palace tour is excellent, and the grounds are extensive, beautifully maintained. Not to be missed.
Stephen 🥞🍱🍣🍛🍜🍘🍟🍔🥨🍰🥑May 29, 2016
Beautiful Palace & gardens! Can get busy on weekends with 2hr waiting times to get into the palace! The horse drawn carriage ride is very pleasant too.
Ilaria MangiardiMay 3, 2013
Best place ever if you're visiting Vienna! Best ticket choice? Classic Pass Plus - or, if you go for the cheapest one, be sure to visit the Gloriette! It will take your breath away.
Andreea MihalacheAugust 25, 2016
Everything is beautiful and rich! Before or after visiting the palace, you can eat in their restaurant. The food is absolutely gorgeous no matter what you orderer!! Enjoy!!
Illia PolosukhinJune 27, 2013
If you forgot to buy your ticket online and want to get Golden Pass (and you should - it's awesome and worth it) - you can buy it without queue in Imperial Carriage Museum or in the Zoo.
Danae ThaMarch 27, 2022
AmaZing !!! Number 1 place to visit in Vienna. If you are greek you can read in greek the history of the palace.
Illia PolosukhinJune 29, 2013
With Golden Pass you might not be able to make it in one day - you don't need to rush-you can finish tomorrow. You can visit each sight only one time, but thought out a year.Take your time in the zoo!
Nouf AlsAugust 6, 2018
If it’s ur first time to visit Vienna I suggest u take the tour with the guide & take the horse carriage ride in the gardens of the palace
Julia KryvomazJanuary 3, 2018
Definitely a place to explore and experience the life of Hofburg family! Everything is very interesting and should visit.
ReneAugust 6, 2017
Beautifull, overfilled just one floor and realy if you dont wait in line the whole grand tour is under 15 minutes.
Justin LaneNovember 24, 2015
The gardens are beautiful and free, there was a Christmas market out front in November that was very charming, the palace itself is beautiful plus it has free wifi!
Ahmad Al-HussienAugust 18, 2016
Astonishing view for the amazing city. MUST go if you were in Vienna!
Duncan HowsleyMay 2, 2019
Really beautiful at all times of year. Excellent Christmas markets, excellent zoo, excellent palace tour.
Xander HooseAugust 24, 2015
Order your ticket online. If you go to the ticket machines, you might have to wait 2 to 3 hours before you're allowed into the Schloss. Grand Tour is better value than Imperial Tour.
Ann SakaiDecember 21, 2016
Absolutely gorgeous. It's more spacey than Rathaus Christmas market and way cooler 😎
