Travel blog-Austria Part-7

                                             

Today , I went to Schonbrunn palace with my German teacher . We went there by taking the 'Hop on 

 Hop off bus' for Vienna Sightseeing.

Arriving at Schonbrunn Palace 

  The Palace is painted yellow because it was Queen Maria Thereasa’s summer residence .

  As we entered through the palace gates into the courtyard , there were huge statues with fountains 

 on both sides

Beautiful sculpture with fountain

 For taking visitors around the palace, there were horse carriages which are called "Fiaker in 

 German and the Schonbrunn train , but we decided to explore on foot .

   
                                
                        Beautiful Fiaker ready for you.

There were doors which lead you to the maze , the world's oldest zoo and the royal gardens .

Schonbrunn over the steep hill .

Let's go !!

We decided to go up the hill , when we reached up the top of the hill ,we turned around and saw the 

                                                               beautiful view of Vienna City.

View from hill


                                                                                                               
It was a very long and tiring hike ,but full of fun and loved every minute of it. 


Still need to go higher

Finally!!!

Inside this beautiful structure of   Schonbrunn , there was once used to be a dining hall for the royals. Now , it is a cafe.Because we were tired and hungry we decided to have some tea and cake and enjoyed the view .

                                                        Glimpse of inside of the cafe                                                                                                           



 In the evening, we went back to our hotel by Vienna's fast trams .Ready next day to go back home.



Goodbye Vienna until nexttime.
