Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingSchönbrunn Palace opens daily at 8:30 am; closing time varies by season, and last admission to the attractions is 45 minutes before closing. The Palace Park opens earlier and has separate seasonal hours, so allow time for the route from the park entrance to the palace and for any cloakroom or access procedures.
EntranceOnline tickets let you bypass the ticket-office queue, but timed entry or skip-the-line admission does not necessarily remove ticket validation or other on-site entry checks. At Schönbrunn Palace, use the Ticket Center for on-site purchases and follow signs to the Palace Entrance; the park has separate access, while bags larger than approximately A4 size, backpacks, tripods, umbrellas and other bulky items are not permitted on palace tours.
PriceThe official listing shown here is 30 EUR for the “Palace Ticket (Children aged 6-18)”. Partner prices range from 16 EUR to 63 EUR, but the products are not all like-for-like: some include tours, the panoramic train, or a concert, so check the final checkout total and inclusions before booking.
DiscountsThe supplied official product is specifically for children aged 6–18. Student concessions require a valid international student identity card (ISIC), and disability discounts require valid ID; a companion may enter free with a blind or vision-impaired visitor or wheelchair user when the visitor’s ID includes a companion entitlement. Palace display areas are accessible by ramps or lift, but the Privy Garden, Gloriette viewing terrace and some garden areas require stairs. The Palace Park is free during opening hours, while special attractions require separate admission.
Planning your visit
Schloss Schönbrunn is the former Habsburg summer residence and an Imperial Palace Vienna landmark where Empress Maria Theresa shaped the Rococo staterooms. Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Sisi (Elisabeth) also lived here, while the Great Gallery (Große Galerie) and Millions Room (Millionenzimmer) are among the best-known palace interiors. The estate became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
A Palace visit covers the imperial rooms, while the Grand Tour ticket and Imperial Tour ticket represent different palace-tour formats. The official audio guide adds room-by-room context, and a guided stateroom tour provides live interpretation. A timed-entry admission slot applies to palace admission, so skip-the-line palace tickets do not necessarily bypass security or ticket checks.
The Palace Park is free during Palace and gardens opening hours, but the Privy Garden (Kronprinzengarten), Schönbrunn Maze and Labyrinth, and the Neptune Fountain area belong to a much larger paid-attraction landscape. Families can also combine the visit with Tiergarten Schönbrunn (Vienna Zoo) and the Great Palm House (Palmenhaus), while Schönbrunn Palace Concerts provide an evening option.
Schönbrunner Schloßstraße 47 is the visitor address. The U4 Schönbrunn metro station and U4 Hietzing underground stop serve the estate, while Tram 10 and 60 Schloss Schönbrunn stop close to the palace. The Classic Pass Schönbrunn suits visitors covering several attractions, and Vienna Pass free entry may apply to eligible passholders; verify the pass conditions before relying on it.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Backpacks, daypacks, briefcases, umbrellas and bags larger than approximately A4 size may not be taken on Schönbrunn Palace tours; use the cloakroom or lockers, and allow extra time before your admission slot.
- An online ticket avoids the ticket-office queue, but it does not remove the need to follow Schönbrunn Palace access procedures or store restricted bags before entering the historic rooms.
- Last admission to Schönbrunn Palace attractions is 45 minutes before closing, so arriving late in the day can leave too little time for the interior visit.
- The Palace Ticket is an unguided visit with a free audio guide or printed description; products described as tours may include hosted guidance, gardens or other extras, so their prices are not directly comparable with admission-only tickets.
- Special areas such as the Privy Garden, Gloriette and Maze require separate admission, so a palace ticket alone may not cover the full Schönbrunn Palace estate.
- Food and drinks are not allowed in the historic rooms, and tripods, selfie sticks and flash photography are prohibited inside Schönbrunn Palace.
- Visitors who need step-free access should check the route for each attraction: the palace display areas are accessible by ramps or lift, while the Privy Garden and Gloriette viewing terrace are reached only by stairs.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Do Schönbrunn Palace tickets use mobile tickets and timed entry?
Most admission products use a fixed entry time for Schönbrunn Palace, so keep the mobile voucher ready and arrive for the slot shown on the ticket. Online booking avoids the ticket-office queue, but it does not remove the need to respect the selected admission time.
Can I cancel or get a refund for a Schönbrunn Palace ticket?
Cancellation and refund rules depend on the seller and the specific product. Check the final checkout terms before paying; do not assume that a partner tour and an official admission ticket have the same flexibility.
Should I buy from the official seller or a partner?
Choose the official seller when you want a straightforward venue-issued admission ticket. Partner products can be useful when they add a guide, gardens experience or another activity, but confirm exactly what is included and who handles changes or support; Schönbrunn Palace warns visitors to use authorised ticket channels.
Can I bring a backpack or large bag into Schönbrunn Palace?
Backpacks, daypacks and bags larger than approximately A4 size cannot be taken on the palace tour. Use the cloakroom or lockers, and leave tripods, selfie sticks and umbrellas there as well; flash photography is prohibited.
What happens if I arrive late for my Schönbrunn Palace time slot?
Admission is tied to the selected time, so late entry is not guaranteed. Contact the seller promptly if you are delayed, and do not rely on a skip-the-line label to override the venue’s timed-admission rules.
Do children, students or disabled visitors need a separate ticket for Schönbrunn Palace?
Yes, eligible visitors generally need the correct reduced or free-admission ticket and valid proof where required. A companion may enter free with a blind or vision-impaired visitor or a wheelchair user when the companion is included on the visitor’s disability ID; student concessions require an international student identity card.
What is the main bottleneck when visiting Schönbrunn Palace?
The main constraint is the fixed palace admission slot, with additional waiting possible during busy periods. Online tickets remove the cash-desk queue, but visitors still need to follow the booked time and comply with bag and cloakroom procedures.
