From the 18th century until 1918 the palace was the summer residence of the Imperial Habsburg family, and is one of the most impressive Baroque architectural works. The huge gardens were the site of the world’s first zoo.

Afterwards, take a long stroll on the hill opposite to the palace to get stunning views of the city and surrounding areas. Head over to the Gloriette building, which houses underground shelters and is one of the most luxurious buildings in Austria.

Wiener Prater

Wiener Prater is a theme park with free entry. There are more than 250 entertainment attractions here, managed by an independent operator who has rented the entire site.
