"Vienna - the City of Arts and Culture" a Vienna Travel Page by debay

No visit to Vienna would be complete without a visit to the Schonnbrunn, the summer residence of the Hapsburg monarchy.

Be a tourist for one day and get the Classic Pass which entitles one to visit the palace rooms including the audio guide, take a ride on the train that goes up to the Gloriette, attend an apple strudel demo and taste a bite of apple strudel, plus gain entrance to the Labyrinth and surrounding area.

Can you hear the strains of the Blue Danube Waltz? How about Radetsky's March ? Or Trisch Trasch Polka?

It seems that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is being mentioned too often nowadays that the Strausses have been left out of the picture. This statue is well-kept within the Stadtpark and without a guide book in hand, I just relied on the city map of Vienna to look for it. More info after I do my research on the internet.

The park is nice for spending a quiet afternoon reading a book, taking your dog for a walk, chatting with friends or just plain people-watching. Camera-laden tourists take pictures non-stop with this statue and one has to wait in turn.

Discounted entrance fees to the Hofburg Palace and Sisi Museum come with the Classic Pass for Schonnbrunn. Hence, I was able to take some pictures----didn't see any "no cameras allowed" signs here. But later, almost at the exit, I did see some of the signs.
