Schonbrunn

Here are some pictures of Schonbrunn in Vienna. Schonbrunn is the name of the old summer palace of the imperial family and the garden that surrounds it. I have barely begun to see the place. It is really hard to express how huge the grounds are. I wandered around for quite a while and didn't feel as if I had seen much of the place at all. Somewhere on the property there is a decent-sized zoo, but I didn't even manage to stumble upon it. These pictures are mainly of the entry courtyard and a then a small amount of the grounds. Eventually I will return to Schonbrunn and see more of the property.
