Palace, Park and Zoo

by Anjutka - last update: Apr 25, 2005

The Palace

The Palace
It was a surprise for me to find Schoenbrunn in the VT places database. Surprising because it is in the middle of Vienna. So I build a page on it because we have been a full day in Schoenbrunn (the only one significant activity in Vienna outside of Schoenbrunn on this day was a visit to Tichy's Icecream palace to enjoy Europe's best icecream.)

Schoenbrunn was built to compete with Versailles. I still have not seen Versailles but I heard of most who have seen both that Schoenbrunn is nicer.

The Park

It is a tremendous park stretching around the Palace and up a hill crowned by the "Gloriette". offering one of the finest views of Vienna. The park is in French style. of course.

The Zoo

Quite a big part of the Western park is the zoo. It was founded 250 years ago and is the oldest existing zoological garden in the world. And since a perfect renovation a couple of years ago it became one of the most modern zoos in the world.

 Scönbrunn with palace park and zoo could alone easily fill two days of sightseeing of Vienna - it easily beats Versailles .
