  Schönbrunn Palace, which became the summer residence of the Habsburg imperial court, belongs to the most significant palace and park ensembles in Europe. Its premises are impressive: a 43-meter (141 ft.) large gallery with luxurious frescoes on the ceiling, million porcelain and rich rooms, tapestry, and mirror salons.
  
  You will visit 40 rooms, including the chambers of the most famous Austrian couple - Franz Joseph and Elizabeth, "mother-in-law of all Europe" -Maria Theresa and her glorious wife. Not only did Habsburg's family reside in the palace, but Napoleon did not apply to be noted in it, and his son ended his days here and, in honor of the Russian Tsarevich, arranged a formal dinner.
  
  After exploring the palace's interiors, a walk through the Palace Park will bring you true pleasure. Luxurious emerald green lawns, neatly trimmed bushes, a zoo, fountains, the Glorietta indoor gallery on a hill, the Palm Pavilion, Roman ruins, the Egyptian obelisk, the Labyrinth Garden, the Crown Prince's Garden, and the Japanese Garden are all Schönbrunn.
