Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- lala luluBelgrade, Serbia22 contributionsIf you want to visit the entire Schonbrunn, you will need the whole day, so come right after the opening. If you want to visit the Palace first, book in advance, so that you don't have to wait over an hour to enter it. If you are with small children, the children's museum, a maze and a zoo are the right combination.Written 29 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Diana RBirch Run, MI2,892 contributionsBeautiful European city, so clean and updated, we visited the old town on a guided tour and really loved it. It rivals my favorite city (Paris).

- Gabriel APloiesti, Romania4,919 contributionsEvery visit to Vienna included spending a period of admiration and silence in this superb cathedral.
This time, the visit was accompanied by a concert - Vivaldi's Seasons, performed by a chamber orchestra (I can't remember the name).
The interpretation was excellent, too bad the sound was almost lost in the vast space of the cathedral.
A visit here is a "must".Written 29 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We enjoyed our visit there on our recent trip to Europe. The building itself is gorgeous and the art, especially the Gustav Klimt collection is amazing. Highly recommend a visit.Written 27 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Travel with SeanMadison, WI536 contributionsThe Hofburg Palace is one of the most significant historical landmarks in Vienna. The palace was originally built in the 13th century as a fortress, and was gradually expanded and renovated over the centuries by successive Habsburg monarchs, becoming the sprawling complex that exists today. The palace complex was the political and cultural center of the Holy Roman Empire, and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire, under the Habsburg Dynasty, serving as the seat of government, the imperial residence, and the venue for lavish court ceremonies and festivities. It was also a hub of artistic and intellectual activity, attracting leading artists, musicians, scholars, and statesmen from across Europe. The Hofburg Palace continues to be a venue for cultural events, concerts, exhibitions, and international conferences. It also serves as the official residence and workplace of the President of Austria, and houses various government offices, conference facilities, and cultural institutions.Written 22 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Diana RBirch Run, MI2,892 contributionsThese gardens are so beautiful. Very large, lots of different places to just sit and enjoy the beauty. I especially enjoyed the rose garden and the beautiful sculptures.Written 27 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lala luluBelgrade, Serbia22 contributionsA nice zoo, with lots of attractive animals such as koalas, big and red pandas, rhinoceroses, elephants, giraffes, penguins, seals, polar bears and many others. Tickets can be bought at the entrance to the zoo. It is open until 6:30 p.m., so you can also leave it for the end of your visit to Schonbrunn, but you need at least two to three hours to go around it. It happened to us that the pandas hid, so we had to come back later to see them.Written 29 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Roena OCoronado, CA100 contributionsLovely art museum. Wheelchair users can just use their health insurance card to get a 7 Euro ticket to all the Albertina locations. Access is via internal elevators that must be operated by one of the guards, but they were right there and did a great job for me. I especially enjoyed the Monet/Manet/Picasso section.Written 28 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EllieBarrow-in-Furness2,010 contributionsAbsolutely incredible museum. Not only is it visually stunning but it houses some incredible collections. They seemingly have every species of bird ever located, it’s crazy! Some really unusual ones too. As well as an array of animal species, fossils, and crystals. Incredible! Also has an amazing cafe.Written 29 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- dougs007Basel, Switzerland1,391 contributionsWe booked our opera tickets in a box for Le Nozze di Figaro. The singers were first class just as the orchestra. The performance is more on the traditional side with a tiny modern twist.
As others have commented, the box is quite small which you would share with a total of 7 people. For the 3 at the front, each person gets an individual screen showing the translation in language of your choice. For those 4 at the back, the screens are on one side and the reading may be a bit tricky.
The building is a classic beauty. Especially the rooms and terrace are beautiful and they are only open during intermission.
For us, it is one of the most unforgettable evenings in Vienna.Written 16 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Incredible architecture, fabulous paintings and frescoes, soaring stacks of ancient books (potions and spells?), secret hidden doors, creaky old ladders on wheels, statues and sculptures, antique globes, and much more. Well worth the 10 euros (8 euros seniors) entry!Written 12 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
