Schönbrunn Palace was great. However, the zoo does not live up to its reputation. It is considered one of the leading zoos, but does not meet expectations.

The only remark is that there can be visitied only 5 rooms which is not enough, the tour in the Palace is only 1.5 hour. My expectation was to stay 4-5 hours in the Palace.

First of all, it was really nice to listen to our guide Oliver. I think that's the be-all and end-all of a tour like this. And I also found what was said during the tour very interesting - not too much and not too little. It was right to the point and really included the most important information. Of course, the castle was also extremely remarkable. All in all, we didn't regret booking the tour. Really top 👍🏽

Although the tickets in the app said they could be used directly at the Belvedere Palace, at the entrance the tickets were not recognized. The digital tickets (available on the App) clearly said that it was not necessary to exchange them for physical tickets, as the digital tickets were accepted. After 30 minutes of phone calls to various locations by Belvedere Palace staff and receiving proof that we had paid for the tickets, we were allowed to visit the Palace.

I was denied entry at the Schonbrunn Palace - they said they were sold out of tickets and could not redeem my voucher. I contacted support and asked for a prorated refund for the amount associated with the Schonbrunn Palace tour and even had a Schonbrunn Palace representative speak with Headout support to confirm the denial of my entry. Headout said they needed written confirmation from the venue that my entry was indeed denied.

The music was great! The venue was awesome! The singers were outstanding! There are no photos from the concert since taking pictures or video is not allowed during the performance. We had great time and would definetely go again if in Vienna. Pictures of hall were taken during the antract. In addition, we were in Vienna in late November so the Christmas market at Schonbrunn Palace was a pleasure to the soul. Some pictures attached are from the market. Tips: We book the seats in cathegory A and it was definitely worth it. There was a recomendation on the ticket to arrive 15 min before the performance to avoid the delays. We arrived 45 min before since we were using public transportation and didnt want to be late. It was a great bonus for us. Your ticket comes with category for seating but not the reserved seats. Cathegory A was seats from the row 3 to 7 or 8. Since we were almost the first ones to enter the concert hall, we were able to reserve the seats in row 3 in the center.

We had 2 day Pass. It was convenient, but I’m not sure that the value it gives is worth the price. Because you have limited ability as a human to visit many places per day :) 2-3 spots per day - that’s normal, so that you don’t feel totally exhausted. So you feel unhappy that you could use much more from the pass, but there is not enough time in a day, especially when most of places work only till 5-6 p.m. Good thing is skip the line feature, very convenient. What is totally 0 value - included in pass audioguide. I wouldn’t recommend to take pass with audioguide, not worth it at all. Buy just pass. We didn’t use hop on bus at all, cause didn’t see on our routes where are the stops. Vienna metro system is just perfect and fulfilled all our needs. So in general - not bad, but that feeling ’didn’t i pay too much’ is quite strong...Especially when some places appeared to be free entrance for children...
