You can't miss Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. Most of the tourists want to see where the Princess of Sicily lived and want to see the loation of scenes from the movie. Known as the symbol of Vienna, it is the Summer Palace of Princess Sissi, one of the most beautiful Baroque palaces in Europe. The name comes from the Holy Roman Emperor Matthias. It is said that in 1612 he lived here, drinking the spring water, refreshing and sweet, and named this spring "Meiquan". Since then, "Meiquan" has become the name of this area. The Royal Garden behind the Schönbrunn Palace is free to enter and exit, and it has become a great place for Viennese holiday and leisure. There is also a very interesting sight in the garden - the garden maze, and children who like to play hide and seek should not miss it. There are three parts inside, one of which is very high. It is really difficult to find the correct path from the outside to the most central viewing platform. But when you go to the high end of the finish line and overlook the people still get trapped in the maze, that kind of happiness is hard to explain, as if you are back to childhood.

The size and luxury of the original design of Schnbrunn Palace was comparable to that of Versailles, but due to limited financial resources, the initial design was not realized. Although the current Schnbrunn Palace cannot be compared with the Palace of Versailles, it still shows the aristocratic style of the Habsburg dynasty.
