Full description

This tour pairs priority entry to Schönbrunn with a licensed guide who leads you through 22 state rooms in Hietzing. Commentary through headsets covers the Habsburg family, Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth, taking in ceremonial halls and private chambers including the long Great Gallery and the Hall of Ceremonies.

Afterwards the guide hands you over to the gardens, which you explore independently, looking up toward the hilltop Gloriette. Reviewers single out guides who connect the rooms with stories of Franz Joseph, Sisi and Napoleon, and note the visit suits non-specialists as well as history enthusiasts.
