Top 5 Palaces of Austria
- Schloss Schonbrunn: With a whopping 1440 rooms, this summer palace is the perfect example of European opulence. While the palace itself is impressive, the immaculately maintained gardens featuring statues, sculptures, fountains, flower beds and a hedge maze are a horticultural delight.
- Hofburg Palace: The official resident of Austria's president, the Hofburg Palace (also known as the Imperial Palace) is a remarkable palatial complex. With grand rooms full of luxurious furnishings, sprawling gardens, interesting museums and art collections, this is a Viennese 'must-see'.
- Schloss Belvedere: A triumph of Baroque architecture and design, this palatial complex built in the early 18th century features magnificent rooms and halls decorated with beautiful frescoes and paintings. Built during a time of economic prosperity, no expense was spared by the architect resulting in a palace of luxe splendour.
- Schloss Eggenberg: This cultural treasure of Graz features lavish interiors decorated with priceless art, grand chandeliers, sumptuous furnishings and magnificent murals. Visitors are sure to be blown away by the Planetary Room, a visual feast of cosmic art depicting the planets and zodiac.
- Schloss Hellbrunn: Built in the early 17th century, this popular Salzburg wonder is most famous for its elaborate water features. Visitors delight in the trick fountains and hidden water features which provide entertainment and refreshment on a hot summer's day.
