Schönbrunn Maze: A Royal Diversion

Getting There

• Public Transport

  The Schönbrunn Maze is easily accessible via Vienna's efficient public transport system. Take the U4 metro line to the Schönbrunn station. From the station, it's approximately a 400-meter walk to the Schönbrunn Palace gardens. Follow the signs to the palace and then to the maze, which is located on the south side of the main building, near the Neptune Fountain. Alternatively, take tram lines 10 or 60, or bus line 10A to the Schloss Schönbrunn stop, which is near the palace's main entrance. From there, walk through the gardens to the maze. A single ticket for public transport within Vienna costs €2.40.

• Walking

  From the Schönbrunn Palace main entrance, walk south towards the gardens. Continue towards the Neptune Fountain. The entrance to the Schönbrunn Maze will be on your right, just before you reach the fountain and close to the zoo. This is a pleasant walk through the palace grounds, allowing you to take in the surrounding scenery. There are no costs associated with walking to the maze within the gardens.

• Driving

  If driving, follow signs to Schönbrunn Palace (Schönbrunner Schloßstrasse 47). Parking is available in the vicinity, but can be limited, especially during peak season. Paid parking is available at Schloßpark Parking (approximately €4.50 per hour). From the parking area, follow signs to the Maze within the Schönbrunn Palace gardens. Consider using a Park-and-Ride garage outside the city center and taking public transport for a less stressful arrival.
