Grand Tour – Schönbrunn Palace

Description

Fascinating stories from three centuries in three historically important areas of the palace

The Grand Tour supplements the Imperial Tour with the exquisite apartments from the time of Maria Theresa. With their décor largely dominated by chinoiserie and East Asian elements, these rooms are among the most luxurious interiors in the palace. They include the Blue Chinese Salon and the Vieux Laque Room, which was remodelled as a memorial room after the death of Franz I Stephan. A highlight of the tour is the so-called Millions Room, named for its precious rosewood panelling. In the Gobelin Salon you can admire exquisite Brussels tapestries. The tour culminates in the Rich Room, which contains the only surviving state bed of the Viennese court.

Duration c. 50-60 min.
