Visit Vienna's most popular tourist attraction! In a city of less than 2 million inhabitants, Schönbrunn has 1½ times as many visitors in a year admiring this beautiful Baroque palace and its gardens. Your guide Alan will explain the historic nuances, especially of interest to English speaking guests, which took place at this venue. It was Maria Theresia's lavish attempt in the mid 1700's to compete with the Bourbons and their Versailles in France. Maria Theresia's great-great grandson Emperor Franz Josef was the only Habsburg ruler to be born and also die in this venue. He was the first to use it as a year around residence. After our visit to the Schönbrunn Palace we will admire the lavish carriages in the Wagenburg - Carriage House. This unique exhibit of ornate and historical carriages on display range from the fairytale to the practical. The most valued and unique objects on display are the gilded carriages from the mid-1700s, such as the coronation carriage used by Maria Theresia and her successors.
- Meeting at a venue of your choice and we will commence our tour with the purchase of your public transit ticket and make our way to the Schönbrunn Palace. - Visit the Palace, a Highlight Tour presenting the most decorative rooms from the era of Maria Theresia and her immediate successors - After our tour through the palace and a stroll in the beautifully landscaped gardens we will then visit the Wagenburg (Carriage House). - On our return to the city center we may make an optional stop at the Naschmarkt to stroll through Vienna's largest open market featuring trendy dining stands. *Because of the high demand for the Highlight Tour presenting the most decorative rooms from the era of Maria Theresia and her immediate successors, tours must be scheduled in advance. I will gladly do this upon confirmation of your tour. *If you have a specific itinerary in mind send me a message and I'll customize the tour for you.

This is a walking tour. Public transportation is my suggested mode of transportation. The most economical is the purchase of a 24 hour ticket for € 8--, and after the guided tour you have until the next day to make full use of the ticket. *A chauffeured van can be arranged at an additional fee. This would be an appropriate consideration for those with impaired mobility, or who wish not to take public transportation. The public transit in Vienna is considered safe by international standards.
