In addition to seeing most of the city, it was convenient to be able to hop on and off at the various stops as we pleased. We only stayed in Vienna for one night, and the Big Bus allowed us to get around the city without having to take public transportation. We will repeat this experience in other cities.

Our guide Romana's comments, in perfect French with a touch of humor, left us with excellent memories of our visit to Schonbrunn: explanations of the Habsburg genealogy, the different "dynasties" and their contributions, contemporary history, anecdotes in the different rooms we visited. All in all, a wonderful memory.
