Schönbrunn Palace - The Congress of Vienna

The Congress of Vienna restored the monarchs dethroned by Napoleon. They did more dancing than legislating ... but as for this Palace ...

WHAT A MESS! Disney lines are better than this! And to see what? An ostentatious palace, where only a few rooms are on display. Save your time! Not to sound like a snob but, Versailles was far more enjoyable, as at least there, you don't have 100 tourists pushing and shoving. Fist fights nearly broke out here! Old ladies with walkers throwing left hooks! Well the fights weren't in English so  maybe the locals were just exchanging pleasantries.  And the line ... well, look at it! 1/2 a mile long!

But, I must say this about the staff. After they read my negative review on tripadvisor.com, they offered me free admission for the next time I'm there. So, if I ever go back to Austria in 30 years, I'm going to save 15 Euros!
