Climb to the Schönbrunn Gloriette, the colonnaded landmark crowning the palace gardens. Walk up through the grounds and look back across the palace and the Vienna skyline from the top.
Full description
The Gloriette stands on the rise at the far end of the Schönbrunn gardens, a neoclassical structure of arches and columns that frames the palace below. The walk up through the grounds is part of the experience, with the pavilion serving as the visual endpoint of the garden's central axis.
Visitors come for the elevated outlook over the palace, the parterres and the city beyond. Reaching it involves a moderate uphill walk across the park, so allow time to climb and linger.
It sits within the wider Schönbrunn grounds, which makes it an easy add-on to a palace visit.
