Walk in the footsteps of the Habsburg monarchy of years gone by and visit magnificent Baroque palaces such as Schönbrunn and Belvedere.

Schönbrunn Palace
The former summer residence of the Habsburgs impresses with imperial ceremonial rooms, magnificent gardens, and a lavish virtual reality experience. Maria Theresa, Emperor Franz Joseph, Empress Elisabeth and others once resided at Schönbrunn Palace.

Schönbrunn Palace is one of Europe's most beautiful Baroque complexes and has been in the possession of the Habsburgs since 1569. The palace and garden complex created from 1696 onwards following the siege of Vienna was complete redesigned under Maria Theresa after 1743. Today, due to its historical significance, its unique layout and magnificent furnishings, the palace is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Emperor Franz Joseph was born in Schönbrunn Palace in 1830. The monarch spent the last years of his life here in their entirety. The interiors are in the Rococo style. Mozart made music in the mirrored hall of Schönbrunn Palace as a six year-old prodigy.

The Gloriette is the jewel in Schönbrunn’s palace garden and a brilliant vantage point. As if the view of the garden and castle weren’t spectacular enough, it’s hard to tear yourself away from the sight of Vienna. Just like Emperor Franz Joseph long ago, we love having breakfast and enjoying the view up here.

Today the Zoo at Schönbrunn is considered one of the best and most modern zoos in the world. The oldest existing zoo in the world has already been named Europe's best on six occasions. The animal compounds have a particularly generous and natural design.

St. Stephen's Cathedral is the symbol of Vienna and also the very center of the city. At 136 meters in height, it is the tallest church in Austria. In addition to valuable altars and side chapels, the impressive cathedral treasure can also be seen, including relics decorated with gold and precious stones, monstrances, liturgical texts and books as well as vestments.

Circling around the first disctrict of the St.Stephens Cathedral is the world’s most beautiful boulevard: home to many of Vienna’s most famous sights and museums, as well as grand palaces and spacious parks. Vienna's Ringstrasse is 5.3 kilometers long. Long enough to provide space for numerous monumental buildings, which were built during the period of Historicism in the 1860s to 1890s. Today, the buildings that stand there – from the Vienna State Opera to the Museum of Fine Arts – are among the most important sights in the city of Vienna.

"It is my will..." - with these words, Emperor Franz Joseph ordered the building of the Ringstrasse in 1857. Nobles and rich citizens hurried to build pompous palaces along this magnificent boulevard.

It might sound strange but Cemeteries are places of culture and part of Vienna’s history as a city. Apart from thousands of graves, there are also green spaces, trees, churches, historical buildings and cultural monuments to be seen. Since death is a part of life in Vienna, funerals have been celebrated under the concept of "a schöne Leich" ("a beautiful corpse"). Not least because of this, the cemeteries are not just tombs, but attractive amenities that enrich the cityscape. Especially the Vienna Central Cemetery. More than two square kilometers in area, it has a total of 330,000 graves. In addition to Austria's federal presidents, other famous people are also buried here, including Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert and Arthur Schnitzler.
