Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna, Austria
Austria is awash with lavish gilded palaces that hint at a bygone
era and none more so than the magnificent Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. Designed
by architect Fischer von Erlach, the Baroque masterpiece was the summer
residence of the Habsburg emperors from the 18th century to 1918. With its
intricately painted ceilings, priceless royal treasures and glittering crystal
chandeliers, UNESCO added the palace and its grand gardens to its World
Heritage List in 1996 and it's now Austria's most-visited attraction.
