Today we caught the U4 to Schonbrunn station to see the Palace of the same name. It was a crash course in the Hapsburg Empire. The last emperor was Charles I who gave up his role in 1918, also 100 years ago.
It was also a poignant visit as I recall looking at Yvonne's video and pictures when she went there with Beo Lan several years ago.
It was a magnificent building. We went on a tour of the state rooms, no pics allowed. This is the outside.
If you walk into the gardens and look back, this is the view.
And there are laneways off to the side.
It is big.
And a graphic warning about bollards. Not sure how the German translates.
