On the
morning of Thursday, January 24th, we went to Vienna's Imperial
Palace. The Schönbrunn Palace is located in the
13th Viennese district of Hietzing. Since 1743, the palace
was under Empress Maria Theresa and expanded to its current
form. During the Austro-Hungarian Empire , it was called
the "summer imperial palace of Schoenbrunn."
Schönbrunn
Palace is the largest palace and one of the most important and most visited
cultural assets of Austria. The castle and grounds are approximately
160-acres. A major attraction in the park is the oldest existing zoo in
the world, the Vienna Zoo.

I enjoyed walking through this palace much more than the one we saw in Berlin. I think the biggest difference was the decor and attitude of the royalty that resided there. Although the palace and the grounds are massive, the decor on the inside is very tasteful. All the walls were white with a gold trim, which expressed a more modest idea of royalty. It was easier on the eyes and a lot easier to take in. Regardless, monarchical royalty were obnoxiously rich.
