On a short three day break to Vienna we decided to spend a day in the Schonbrunn Palace which was wonderful.

The palace is beautiful inside and out and is a must-see for any trip to Vienna. The audio tour is excellent and provides interesting information without being overly detailed. Allow at least two hours at the palace, more if you want to explore the gardens. More
