Full description

Schonbrunn is Austria’s most visited attraction, with plenty to do inside and outside the palace. With our Licensed Guide you can enjoy exclusive access to 24 rooms of Schonbrunn Palace, just the Palace Gardens, Park and Gloriette Hill or the entire estate in the comfort of a small group with live commentary in English. Experience the best of Schonbrunn and make friends along the way!

Book a 1-hour 15-minute tour of Schonbrunn Palace to explore the palace interiors with a Professional Guide. With skip-the-line tickets and a reserved time slot, your small group will easily beat the crowds and get inside the palace without waiting in long queues. As the official partner of Schonbrunn Palace we offer exclusive access to the Highlights Tour, which covers 24 imperial rooms. This is more than on a regular Imperial Tour, which doesn’t cover the lantern room and the hunting room. This way you can see more and learn more!

As you explore the royal apartments of Empress Maria Theresia, your Expert Guide will take you through the history of the Habsburg dynasty and life at the imperial court. You will discover many interesting facts and myths about Maria Theresa, Franz Joseph and his wife Elisabeth (Sisi). The group will be limited to 25 participants and we will provide headsets/whispers for groups larger than 10, so you will hear the guide clearly even in a crowded space. After the guided tour you can leave the group and explore the palace park on your own.

Book a 1-hour tour of the Palace Gardens, Courtyards and Gloriette Hill to explore the outdoor areas of Schonbrunn with a Professional Guide. The Baroque palace gardens, park and courtyards offer many attractions, such as the views of the palace, the Gloriette, Roman ruins, Palm House, ornate fountains, sculptures, an obelisk and more. Our guided tour of this world heritage site will be filled with stories about imperial life and hobbies such as horticulture and hunting. It’s a great way to spend some time out in nature and both adults and children will find something interesting to do here.

Book a 2-hour 15-minute tour to visit the Schonbrunn Palace and Gardens! This combined experience allows you to admire Austria’s most luxurious estate inside and out with exclusive access to the royal apartments and more. You will have the opportunity to hear the full history of Schonbrunn Palace and discover its most interesting features, from its stunning architecture to serene gardens. Enjoy a great deal on the combined tour of Schonbrunn Palace and Gardens!
