Schönbrunn Palace and Vienna Seen from the Gloriette

View of Schönbrunn Palace and Vienna from the hill in Schönbrunn Park

Here you can see the Schönbrunn Palace from the Gloriette, which is a belvedere built on the hill in the Schönbrunn Park, facing the Palace. Just behind the trees in the middle (but not well visible on this picture) is the Neptune Fountain. Behind the main building of the Schönbrunn Palace in the back you can see the city of Vienna. Schönbrunn is located in its south-western part.

Schönbrunn Palace Gardens and Park

Schönbrunn Palace is one of the most popular landmarks of Vienna. Visitors like Schönbrunn not only because of the palace, where some of the most powerful Austrian Emperors lived in the past, but they also love the huge Schönbrunn Park and Gardens. It is the perfect place where to spend afternoon on a warm summer day. You can walk around the park for hours, visit the Schönbrunn Zoo, have lunch at the Tirol House, or take a ride around the park in a small train. If you haven’t visited Schönbrunn, you haven’t really been to Vienna.
