What you'll see
The Habsburgs' huge yellow summer palace. Inside, gilded state rooms; outside, formal gardens, fountains and a zigzag climb to the Gloriette colonnade, with a view back over the palace to the city.
A brief history
Its 1,441 rooms were the summer home of the imperial court. A six-year-old Mozart played for Empress Maria Theresa here, and the last emperor gave up power in one of its rooms in 1918.
