Vienna's treasure: the stunning scenery of the Schönbrunn Palace Gardens.

⛲️The name of Schönbrunn Palace has a legendary origin, derived from a story about Matthias, the Holy Roman Emperor. It is said that in 1612, Matthias was hunting here when he discovered a spring with clear and sweet water, which he named "Schönbrunn" (meaning "beautiful spring"). Over time, Schönbrunn Palace gradually became a witness to the glorious history of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Habsburg family, as well as the cradle of Princess Sissi's legendary life. 🌸The gardens of Schönbrunn Palace are undoubtedly its most dazzling jewel. You can stroll through them and enjoy their endless charm without a ticket, but if you want to enter the palace itself, you need to book a ticket in advance and strictly adhere to the selected entry time, as even a slight delay will prevent you from seeing its true beauty. 🎟️ 🏆At the top of the gardens stands the majestic Gloriette, with the imperial eagle on top spreading its wings, symbolizing supreme glory. 🦅Below the Gloriette is the Schönbrunn Palace Lake, also known as the Neptune Fountain, where the water sparkles in the sunlight like stars scattered on earth. This is my favorite place, and sitting on the lawn, enjoying the breeze, and gazing at the cityscape of Vienna is one of life's greatest pleasures. ✨ 🚶‍♂️It is worth mentioning that the road to the top of the hill is cleverly designed in a zigzag pattern, which adds some fun but also presents a challenge. Fortunately, there is a shortcut, and if you want to avoid tired legs, be sure to take the shortcut up the hill. This is a valuable tip from my personal experience. 😅
