Your “Grand City Tour Vienna with Schönbrunn Palace” is the perfect opportunity to discover Vienna’s magnificent history and impressive architecture. The tour starts with a drive along Vienna’s famous Ringstrasse, which is lined with numerous imposing buildings from the Wilhelminian era. Here you will immerse yourself in Viennese culture and history as you drive past the “First House on the Ring”, the Vienna State Opera. The Vienna State Opera, one of the world’s leading opera houses, delights music lovers from all over the world with around 350 performances per season.
Your first stop takes you to the Vienna Hofburg, the historic center of power of the Habsburg dynasty. The Hofburg was the residence of the emperors for centuries and today houses impressive museums such as the “Sisi Museum” and the Silver Collection. The sheer size of the building complex is particularly impressive: with 10 wings and over 2,600 rooms , the Hofburg conveys an overwhelming impression of the imperial splendor of times gone by. Today it is also the official residence of the Austrian Federal President.
Right next to the Hofburg is the Burggarten, which was laid out as a private garden for Emperor Franz I at the beginning of the 19th century. Here you can admire monuments to Mozart and Emperor Franz Stephan, which reflect the artistic and political splendor of bygone eras. A special tip: the elegant Palm House, which today houses a charming café, invites you to take a short break while you enjoy the view of the magnificent garden.
The tour continues along the Ringstrasse, past the magnificent twin buildings of the Natural History and Art History Museums. These two museums, which stand opposite each other, are not only architectural masterpieces, but also home to priceless collections. The Natural History Museum houses more than 30 million exhibits, including the famous “Venus of Willendorf”. The Kunsthistorisches Museum is one of the most important art museums in the world and impresses with masterpieces by artists such as Bruegel, Rubens and Rembrandt.
On the way, you will pass one of Vienna’s most famous landmarks, the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel in the Prater. Built in 1897 in honor of Emperor Franz Joseph’s throne jubilee, the Giant Ferris Wheel offers a breathtaking view over the city and has achieved worldwide fame as a backdrop in numerous films.
Another highlight of the tour is Belvedere Palace, a baroque masterpiece. Commissioned by Prince Eugene of Savoy, the palace not only impresses with its architecture, but also with its famous art collection. Particularly worth seeing is the world’s largest collection of works by Gustav Klimt, including the iconic painting “The Kiss”. Works by Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka are also exhibited here and take you back to the Viennese art scene around 1900.
The crowning glory of your “Grand City Tour” is a visit to Schönbrunn Palace, one of Vienna’s most important cultural and historical sites. The baroque palace served as the summer residence of the Habsburgs and impresses with its 1,441 rooms. On a guided tour through the magnificent rooms, you will learn fascinating details about life at the imperial court. The magnificent apartments of Maria Theresa and Empress Elisabeth, better known as “Sisi”, are particularly fascinating. The palace park with its artistically designed gardens invites you to take a stroll, and the oldest zoo in the world, which is located on the palace grounds, is another attraction not to be missed.
