Café Gloriette occupies the
neoclassical Gloriette, high on a hill behind Schloss Schönbrunn, built for the pleasure of
Maria Theresia in 1775. With sweeping views of the Schloss, its magnificent gardens and
the districts to the north, Gloriette has arguably one of the best vistas in all of Vienna. It's
a welcome pit stop after the short climb up the hill.
