Fascinating stories from three centuries in three historically important areas of the palace

The Grand Tour supplements the Imperial Tour with the exquisite apartments from the time of Maria Theresa. With their décor largely dominated by chinoiserie and East Asian elements, these rooms are among the most luxurious interiors in the palace. They include the Blue Chinese Salon and the Vieux Laque Room, which was remodelled as a memorial room after the death of Franz I Stephan. A highlight of the tour is the so-called Millions Room, named for its precious rosewood panelling. In the Gobelin Salon you can admire exquisite Brussels tapestries. The tour culminates in the Rich Room, which contains the only surviving state bed of the Viennese court.

At home with Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Elisabeth

On the Imperial Tour you’ll first explore the apartments of Franz Joseph, whose private rooms were furnished with an astonishing lack of pomp, and the suite occupied by his famous wife Sisi with its beautiful textile wall hangings and upholstery. Immerse yourself in the extravagant grandeur of the Great Gallery, the exotic charm of the ‘Chinese Cabinets’ and the magnificence of the Hall of Ceremonies.

Please note that while no guided tours are available for the Imperial Tour, free audio guides/printed descriptions are provided. At the weekend we offer the guided tour "Franz Joseph" through these rooms.

The Ceremonial Rooms at the Centre of the Palace

The State Apartments include the Great and Small Galleries with their magnificent stuccowork and frescos. Both rooms formed the festive setting for ceremonial events, balls and private family celebrations from the time of Maria Theresa to the early twentieth century. The ‘Chinese Cabinets’ are an impressive example of Maria Theresa’s love of precious items from East Asia. Large-format paintings provide an impressive record of important events in the reign of the monarch that influenced the course of European politics and were intended to be commemorated for posterity. For reasons of conservation, both of these precious Cabinets can only be viewed through glass doors.

Forming a fitting finale to the palatial Baroque complex, the Gloriette crowns the hill behind the palace, making it one of Vienna’s best-loved sights and a sought-after subject for photos.

The building consists of a central section designed as a triumphal arch and flanked by round-arched arcaded wings. The flat roof is edged with a balustrade and was used as a viewing platform from the beginning of the nineteenth century. Today visitors can still access the roof via steps to enjoy the stunning view.

Enjoy the panoramic view of Schönbrunn and large parts of Vienna from the viewing platform. The glazed central section of the Gloriette today contains a café.

Fun for young and old alike - Find your way through the Baroque maze in Schönbrunn Palace Park!

The maze was designed around 1720, but by 1892 it had gradually been removed. It was not until 9 September 1999 that the new maze, based on historical models and covering an area of 1,715 m², was finally re-opened.There is a viewing platform at the centre of the maze and two energising harmony stones activated by feng shui masters Jes and Julie Lim. According to feng shui beliefs, if you place your hands on the stones it strengthens the flow of energy and enhances inner harmony.

Discover this playful opportunity for relaxation for young and old.

Take a stroll under the shady pergola in the former Privy Garden of the imperial family!

Known as the Crown Prince Garden in German, the Privy Garden was given this name when a suite of rooms was furnished for Crown Prince Rudolf on the ground floor along this side of the palace around 1870. In the summer months the garden hosts precious specimens from the citrus collection of the Vienna Federal Gardens authority.

The elevated section of the Privy Garden (called the Garden above the Cellar) is notable for its Baroque design, with four parterre flower beds in designs edged with gravel. This part of the garden is bounded by a pergola with four wooden trellis pavilions. The original fifth pavilion has been replaced with a modern viewing pavilion from which you can look down on the colourful patterns of the formal beds.

Lying immediately along the east façade of the palace, the Privy Garden is part of the imperial family’s private gardens on the Meidling side of the park.

This ticket is available during the summer season (2 April 2024–3 November 2024) from the ticket desks at Schönbrunn Palace or online.

Visit the Orangery and discover where rare exotic plants spend the summer and winter!

Built by Nicolaus Pacassi around 1754, the Orangery at Schönbrunn measures 189 metres by ten metres, making it the largest Baroque orangery in Europe after Versailles. The western section of the Orangery still serves as overwintering quarters for exotic plants. In the summer months – as soon as weather conditions permit – these plants are taken out and distributed around the park at Schönbrunn.

Take a look inside this imposing building and note in particular the original hypocaust heating, which is still in operation and ensures a constant temperature of approximately 10º Celsius in winter.

Let precious exotic plants like pomegranates, olive trees and myrtles beguile your senses in the Orangery Garden while you enjoy a brief survey of the beginnings of European horticulture.
