Fountains in the Schönbrunn Palace Gardens

Schönbrunn Palace Park

Walk through long avenues between artfully tended topiaries, as you pass statues, fountains and splendid flower beds – maybe to the Palm House, the largest of its kind, which dates from 1882, to the Labyrinth, the Japanese Garden or up the hill to the Gloriette, where you can enjoy a great view from a Viennese café. In the former private imperial gardens adjacent to the palace, you find baroque garden splendor and in the Desert House, which dates from 1904, a unique collection of cacti. Lively exotic and native animals can be seen in the oldest zoo of the world. Admire the great variety of species and their habitats at Schönbrunn Zoo .
