Sight-seeing in Vienna: Schloss Schonbrunn








This palace is in its league of its own in Vienna. The opulent interiors matched with frescoed ceilings, crystal chandeliers and pricey decorations are part of the magnificence. I managed to catch a glimpse of 22 regal rooms (out of 1441 rooms) and with the aid of an audio guide, one can imagine the lifestyle and the numerous sumptuous balls that were held here. The beautifully preserved gardens were pretty, even though a combination of grey and brown hues were more obvious during winter. It is appealing in its own right.
