Best Schonbrunn Palace Tours & Trips
This summer palace has its own park and Children’s Museum. Commissioned by Emperor Leopold I in the late 1600s, the palace was built 50 years later under Maria Theresa. It was originally a place of court, then the park opened to the public in 1779. Today, visitors can tour the White and Gold Rooms along with the Palace Chapel and may see the Imperial Family’s ornamental private quarters by appointment. The Children’s Museum offers the Schloss Schonbrunn Experience where kids live like imperial children by dressing up and playing with toys from imperial times.

Impressed by Professionalism
We were fortunate to have Mr. Henry Chen as our guide. Despite his young age, Mr. Chen was exceptionally attentive, considering various issues comprehensively and enthusiastically helping everyone solve various problems encountered during the journey. With his extensive professional knowledge, he humorously introduced the local customs, history, and culture at each stop. In just seven days, Mr. Chen's professionalism, service attitude, level of service, and dedication left a lasting impression on us. We look forward to the next trip and the chance to meet Mr. Chen again.
