"Although Schönbrunn Palace is now thoroughly embedded within urban Vienna, it actually served as a country retreat for much of its life...
After the demise of the monarchy following WWI, Schönbrunn passed into state ownership. It’s now managed by a limited company, though one wholly owned by the Republic of Austria.
In 1996, UNESCO added the palace and gardens to their World Heritage List, stating that the site is of…
'…outstanding universal value being an especially well-preserved example of the Baroque princely residential ensemble, which constitutes an outstanding example of a Gesamtkunstwerk.'"

I had a half-day in Vienna, Austria and this self-guide tour took up half the day! If you are in Vienna, this is a definite MUST-DO.
I'm just a simple American from the state of Utah just travelling through. Thanks for letting me visit your beautiful country and Palace!
