The Schönbrunn Orangery belongs to the Schönbrunn Palace, the impressive former summer residence of the Habsburgs, full of glass windows, huge archways, and white stone. It was built in the 18th century on the orders of Francis I to host Imperial parties, and today hosts elegant concerts. At 189 meters long and 10 meters wide, it's the largest orangery after Versailles. Incidentally, the orangeries of Versailles and Schönbrunn are the only ones still in operation.
The Belvedere is a World Heritage Site, a Baroque jewel and the site of the Austrian State Treaty. One of the oldest museums in the world and at the same time a venue for contemporary art. The unique overall ensemble with the two palaces Upper and Lower Belvedere and the extensive garden is one of the most beautiful baroque buildings in the world. In the 18th century, the Austrian general Prince Eugene of Savoy commissioned the distinguished Baroque architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt to build a summer residence, but Sisi Elisabeth never lived there. After Empresses Maria Theresia purchased the palace, it was immediately dedicated to showcase the extended imperial art collection.
Stroll along the most beautiful and magnificent boulevard in Vienna and you won't be able to miss The Palais Eschenbach, an historical building inaugurated by Emperor Franz Josef I of Austria in 1872.
