Morning
To beat the crowds and enjoy the peace, begin your day at the former imperial summer residence Schloss Schönbrunn (see pp36–9). You could easily spend a day in the palace, walking in the park and having a look at all the features of the formal French garden, or visiting the world’s oldest zoo at Schönbrunn park. For a relaxing coffee or tea head towards the far end of the park to the coffeehouse in the Gloriette building. The view of the palace and the city is very rewarding.
Stroll through the park towards the Hietzinger gate of the palace. The Hietzinger Bräu is just around the corner where you could get the taste of a real Tafelspitz (see p70) for lunch.
Afternoon
After lunch, head towards the Kirche am Steinhof (see p123) by Bus No. 48A, but take into account that guided tours through the interior only take place on Saturday afternoons. Nearby Lainzer Tiergarten, part of the Vienna Woods, with the Hermesvilla Palace (see p123) is on the U-Bahn U4 line.
If you favour a more rustic experience head northwest towards Kahlenberg and Leopoldsberg with their vineyards and hiking paths. To bring the day to a cosy conclusion, make your way to Grinzing by public transport or taxi to enjoy Viennese vintages in one of the many wine taverns.
