Schönbrunn Palace

Step into imperial Vienna at the 17th-century Schönbrunn Palace. Once a hunting lodge turned grand residence, the former summer home of the Habsburgs invites visitors to stroll its ornate, gilded halls and grand staterooms. Admire the palace gardens and imagine court life where music, art and history converged. With your self-guided entry, you can move at your own pace and linger in rooms that witnessed royal banquets, concerts and more. The Blue Route’s stop #6 drops you just steps from the entrance, making your journey direct and convenient.

Upper Belvedere Palace

Continue your exploration at Belvedere Palace—a masterpiece of baroque architecture famed for its stunning art collections. The Upper Belvedere, close to Blue Route stop #8, houses treasures including Gustav Klimt’s 'The Kiss' and major works by Monet, Schiele and other luminaries. The palace interiors dazzle with gold-trimmed halls and grand staircases leading between galleries, while windows frame leafy gardens originally intended for princely promenades. Wander the exhibitions or focus on your favourite pieces—the choice is yours.
