Explore Schönbrunn Palace Illuminations

Your tour stops at Schönbrunn Palace where you can admire its grandeur as it comes alive under the evening lights. Built in 1642, this Baroque palace spans over 50 acres and features a vast array of rooms, including the Imperial Apartments and the Hall of Mirrors. Visitors often spend about an hour exploring the exterior beauty and illuminated fountains during summer evenings. The palace's most notable feature is its extensive gardens, which include the Great Court with its impressive fountain and the Gloriette, an iconic building perched atop a hill offering panoramic views of Vienna. Schönbrunn Palace served as the principal summer residence for Habsburg emperors from 1743 to 1918, making it one of the most historically significant sites in Austria. Unlike other palaces, Schönbrunn is unique due to its combination of royal history and current use as a museum, hosting millions of visitors annually who come to learn about the lives of emperors and their families through guided tours and interactive exhibits.
