Due to the existing measures to combat the COVID19 pandemic, round trips in hired coaches are not possible until further notice!

On this guided tour you will see the most important and significant buildings of Vienna. Along the Ringboulevard with its stately buildings our tour will lead us outside the city centre past the Naschmarkt, to the Wienzeile alongside the Vienna River and the art nouveau buildings of Otto Wagner to the imperial palace grounds Schönbrunn.

Emperor Leopold I commissioned Schönbrunn palace at the end of the 17th century as a palatial hunting lodge and residence for the heir to the throne and his son Joseph I. On the site of the old imperial château de plaisance dating from 1643 a splendid edifice was to arise.

Half a century later under Maria Theresa Schönbrunn Palace was to become the imperial summer residence and also the cultural and political focus of the Habsburg‘s empire.

Schönbrunn is the biggest palace and one of the most important and most visited cultural assets of Austria. Together with its garden UNESCO catalogued the Schönbrunn Palace on the World Heritage List as a remarkable Baroque ensemble and example of synthesis of the arts.
