  • The Scheonbrunn Palace was the summer palace for the Austrian royal family. It is located about 15 minutes outside the historic center of Vienna. Both the palace and its gardens and grounds are open to the public. Both are worth touring. The palace is large, and features numerous historic rooms decorated with the original period furniture. The grounds are huge, covering hundreds of acres, which are filled with gardens and walkways. Vienna's zoo is located on the palace grounds as well.

     I missed the Schoenbrunn Palace on my trip to Vienna and I will have to make time on my next visit.

     Austria is one of the countries I have to visit in the near future and Vienna will most likely be the first stop. I am collecting your tips to make use of them when the time comes. Regards from Freddie
