Schonbrunn Palace was one of my favorite visits of the whole tripp. It is an 800 bedroom palace where several rulers of Austria lived. If I remember correctly it was Maria Theresa who had it built. It is the home where Marie Antonette was born and raised before being married off to France. It is also the place where Mozart first played for the Emperess at the age of 6. Napoleon lived there for a short time and it was also the place of the meeting between JFK and Kruschev (Not at all sure I spelled that right). Anyway, a fun place to visit. The grounds were amazing! We hiked to the top of a small hill in the back of the palace where we were able to enjoy a beautiful view of the Vienna skyline. So fun!
The view from the top of the hill. There is some scaffolding where workers were setting up for a concert.
Building at the top of the hill. The backyard of the Palace.
Fountain in the back of the Palace just before starting up the hill.
One of several smaller gardens just behind the palace.
