Panoramabahn Schönbrunn

Very nice and informative, a comprehensive tour around the site explained well, allowing one to get an overview, and one can get on and off at particularly interesting points if desired.

Except for the descent at the starting point, the Redt did not work at all as it was prescribed. Audioguide didn't work and after getting off rinmal we didn't manage to get back in. The cars were constantly full. So we walked the rest. I could have saved the booking.

It does not come very often and the service is bad. I've only got into the third train (which was more than 1-1.5 hours later) because the trains were "full" where there were obvious empty seats (passengers had purses and hats and other things that should not fill seats). Unfortunately, the Gloriette is quite a hike up the hill and raining, so, the train was an easy way to get there.

This train is useful when you don't feel like / time to walk through the entire area. The train stops at several stops and you can get off/on at each stop. Why 3 stars: the driver(s) are not so nice (they are short and blunt). If you are waiting at a stop, more and more people who also want to take the train and crawl in front of to get on the train. You can sit side by side with the four of you, but there is no enforcement if you sit on each other's lap and therefore sit with six or more in one cabin. I would recommend it: yes and no. Yes: useful if you don't want to/can't walk far. No: grovelling and brutality is rewarded.

This little train was excellent. My husband has walking difficulties so we were able to ride round the gardens and hop on and hop off. Highly recommend.

Without the train we wouldn't have seen much of Schönbrunn, because it can't be done on foot in one day. That was really nice and a relaxed tour of Schönbrunn.

A smart and efficient way to get around Schloss Schönbrunn. The area is very large. 9 stops are available, and you can hop on and get off at each stop. In addition, oral information in different languages is available. Worked very well for us. We jumped off at Palmenhaus, Gloriette and at the Obelisk Fountain.

For those short on time and don't want to walk this expansive park take this tour. Great way to enjoy the gardens.

The panoramic railway is a must if you want to visit the castle. Here you are shown all the greetings and what else you can visit.

Our two young children (and our knees) really appreciated this fun way to explore the grounds of Schönbrunn, from the doors of the palace to the top at Gloriette and back again. It’s an enjoyable hop-on, hop-off ride, with added commentary so you understand what you can see. With Gloriette being so high up, it also takes a lot of the strain out of getting there and admiring the view. It takes in stops for major attractions in the park, and shows you some parts you may never come across otherwise. The price is a little steep - though it is free for the Vienna Pass - but you could ride to a lot of places.
