PALACE

( www.schoenbrunn.at ; 13, Schönbrunner Schlossstrasse 47; Imperial Tour with audio guide adult/child €11.50/8.50,
Grand Tour €14.50/9.50; 8.30am-5.30pm; Hietzing) In contrast to Schloss Belvedere, which is
mostly about art in an imperial surrounding, Schloss Schönbrunn focuses on the palace
itself, giving you a chance to see the lavish and exotically furnished rooms, soak up the
atmosphere and learn more about the former inhabitants. Of the palace's 1441 rooms, 40
are open to the public; the Imperial Tour , which you do with an audio guide, takes you into
22 of these. The east wing of the palace is accessible on the Grand Tour, with well-worth-
while extras like the Napoleon Room , where Europe's diminutive reformer and conqueror
resided when he occupied Vienna in 1805 and 1809, and the chance to venture into the
bedroom of Maria Theresia. The Habsburgs' overwhelmingly opulent summer palace and
surrounding gardens are now a Unesco World Heritage site.
