Probably the most popular sight in Vienna and not without reason. The palace complex with the extensive park, which visitors and locals like to use for walking and jogging, is simply fantastic. The building is fascinating not only from the outside, but also from the inside. The splendor of the rooms in the former Habsburg residence is incredible. Even a color was named after the castle: the Schönbrunn yellow.

The palace has been located in Vienna's 13th district, which has been called Hietzing since 1892. The name Schönbrunn refers to a saying attributed to Emperor Matthias. He is said to have discovered an artesian spring here while hunting in 1619 and exclaimed with delight: "What a beautiful spring!" The baroque complex with its extensive gardens is one of Austria's most important cultural monuments and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
