Schönbrunn Palace: The 15 Best Tours & Skip-the-Line Tickets

19 reviewed

Schönbrunn takes 1,441 rooms and lets visitors into forty of them, and which forty you see depends entirely on the ticket. These are the Schönbrunn tickets worth buying: which reach the Gloriette and the parterre, which add the Imperial Carriage Museum, which put a guide in the room with you, and which get you past the timed-entry queue on a July morning.

Skip-the-line Schönbrunn Palace and a live Vienna Ringstrasse coach tour, with guided state rooms and garden time.

“Took an english tour, had an english and german tour! 1 hour of city tour in the bus before heading to the site, not desired nor asked for. When getting to the venue, 1/2h of free time before the tour started. Tour started in confusion and was crowded. Very specific on 1 part of the Schoenbrunn castle (Maria Theresa), but nothing for the rest of the site ( Franz-Ferdinand/Sissi, gardens, etc).”

“We were 5 minutes late but felt like 30. So I don't know if the time was wrong or if it was really THAT punctual. The tour/meal/concert was AMAZING!! Definitely made us feel like royalty. The concert was a little warm - which is hard to manage when it's cold outside and everyone is dressed in layers - just didn't feel appropriate to strip a layer off in such an elegant venue.”

“Our guide truly made the history come alive. I felt as though I had stepped back in time from the very beginning of the tour. We had a truly wonderful experience on the Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens tour, and our guide was absolutely fabulous. He was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful, regularly checking in with our group and making the experience feel personal and engaging. One of the highlights was learning about Maria Theresa and her sixteen children, and how her family connections intertwined with major historical figures such as Marie Antoinette and Napoleon Bonaparte. The way these stories were woven together brought European history vividly to life. Our guide also…”
