Many tourists in Vienna find that their visit is not complete without a trip to Schönbrunn, the Austrian emperors' country estate.
Schönbrunn is located in a suburb of modern Vienna and is easily accessible by public transport. The U4 subway, also known as the green line, will take you from the Ring to Schönbrunn station within ten minutes. The estate encompasses manicured gardens, rolling hills, ornamental fountains, and an important zoo in addition to the large, exquisitely ornamented palace.
