One of my favorite parks to visit and tour in Vienna! I have visited the Schönbrunn Schoßpark in…read moreboth the Summer and Winter. The Summer is more recommended as you can picnic and tour their "Maze" (think Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire maze scene). It was still beautiful and majestic in the Winter time. While staying in Vienna, the Schönbrunn is easy to get to from any U-Bahn Station. You transfer to the u4 (Green Line) and Schönbrunn has its own stop so you cannot miss it! In the Summer, I rented a bike and rode from Karlsplatz to the Schönbrunn and it only took 45minutes while riding through the NaschMarkt. (Note: If you ride a bike or scooter to Schönbrunn, you must leave it on the North Side of the Palace so make sure you have a lock!) Give yourself PLENTY of time (3-4hrs) so you can tour the Gardens, Fountains, Maze, and hopefully get a grand tour of the Schönbrunn Palace. A must see in Vienna, Austria!

There isn't much more I can say about the actual palace and gardens--they are AWESOME, and a…read moremust-see on your Vienna visit. I purchased the Skip-the-Line Guided Tour with GoodViennaTour via Viator. I was very satisfied with the tour, the price, and the guide (I wish I remembered her name). She was very nice and knowledgeable.

It's just a perfect place to lie in the grass and watch the clouds go by. If you get hungry the Grosses Schutzhaus Rosental is a quick walk away. If you have restless kids there's a big fun playground. The Otto Wagner church and hospital are nearby if you want to look at some gorgeous architecture. There's a public fountain with drinking water near the main entrance of the grounds.

Across the street from my hotel in Vienna, it's a lovely park in the heart of Vienna. Beautifully…read morelandscaped with walking paths. I bet it's gorgeous in the summer with all the greenery, and colorful flower beds. It's perfect for a nice stroll or enjoying some quiet time away from the city's hustle.

Gorgeous foliage of the Gingko trees glow even in the overcast weather and were a perfect autumn show stopper. Strolling through this lovely park takes you back to simpler times when you actually see an occasional jogger and couples holding hands as they stoll amongst the trees and glorious sculptures. It is fun to stand on the bridge above the train rail way and watch the train come in and stop of the station. This park is huge and you could probably spend all day here.

Very child friendly and there was heaps of room for kids to run around, playground included. Outside of the playground area was just green space for people to chill out. The flowers at this time were extremely fragrant and there was a lovely smell emanating through the park as I walked through. Very peaceful, you wouldn't guess that masses of tourists are only 100 metres away going through the palace grounds.

In addition to that which parks usually have, this one also had water pumps - where I think it is necessary to just hold down the handle rather than to pump - but I would not drink this water myself it might be very portable, and safe for pets. This park also has some machines which aid in working out. These are for public use, and are outdoors. While they are not as nice as the ones you would find in a paid gym, they can help you burn a few calories when you're out in the park. Also, has many large grassy areas which are good to lets dogs play off-leash and let out their inner hound. I'm sure the park is even lovelier in the summer!
