An entire day can be devoted to exploring the Schönbrunn Palace, the summer residence for the imperial family. The Palace is popular among tourists due to its lush gardens, impressive zoo, and 1,441 beautiful palace rooms. The Palace has an interesting history as well: this is where Marie Antoinette grew up, Mozart performed, Napolean lived, and Kennedy and Khrushchev signed a treaty!
"My favorite landmark in Vienna was Shönbrunn. The beautiful palace and miles of gardens provided a nice location for running, meeting up with friends to eat at the cafes, or just to appreciate the beauty of the place." -Amy D., Stonehill College
"Schönbrunn Palace was by far my favorite. The decadence of the Hapsburgs is almost too much to handle and every inch of their former summer residence is beyond beautiful. Whether I was roaming the halls inside the palace, wandering the blooming gardens, or touring the fantastic, world-class zoo, I never ceased to be bored. The first thing I'll tell somebody visiting Vienna is to see Schönbrunn and take a walk to the exceptional Gloriette." -Curt S., George Washington University
