    Fabulous lunch at Joseph II

    We already knew that the palace tour would be amazing, but we were pleasantly surprised how good the tour’s provided restaurant, Joseph II, was going to be. It was elegant and the food was superb - well worth the combo price for the ticket for sure!

    Intriguing

    Be sure to bring a headset as they provide a small decide but no headsets!! It’s hard to hear otherwise. It a beautiful place and would be crowded and HOT in the Summer months! The gardens are beautiful and the interior intriguing!

    Waste of Time

    This was not a tour - this was a waste of money. When you arrive at the meeting point Joseph’s II restaurant you have lunch that is prefixed and you receive two tickets at the end to your the palace. This was a do it yourself excursion. This should not be sold as a “tour” and should not have the words “meeting place” which depicts a tour with a guide. This was disappointing and I would not recommend to anyone !!!!!! The Newport Mansions in Newport Rhode Island America is a much better experience then we had at Schönbrunn -

    Excellent in parts.

    The palace tour was fantastic, but the meal prior to the tour was disappointing. The big surprise was that there was no option (other than vege, which we did not fancy). It was either schnitzel and strudel, or nothing. The service was slow and not particularly friendly. Looking at what other diners were having, the actual meal appeared to be a cut down version of what was on the menu. We would give the meal only 2 stars. In fact we would not recommend this tour at all. It would have been a much better experience, and possibly cheaper, to organise the meal and the visit separately.

    Palace tour great but not lunch!

    We opted for the Grand Tour with lunch and sadly lunch was very disappointing. I’d marked the booking with dietary requirements as vegetarian. When we got to Jospeh II restaurant we were only given the one option (2 on the menu). Balsamic lentils with bread dumplings. A plate of brown tasteless mush. Neither of us could eat it. Apple strudel was palatable. Also it took a very long time to serve us. I’d suggest if you have dietary requirements ie non meat then don’t bother with tickets with lunch. The palace tour itself was wonderful and highly recommended.

    Schönbrunn Palace Vienna Ticket with 2-course lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.

    How much does Schönbrunn Palace Vienna Ticket with 2-course lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Schönbrunn Palace Vienna Ticket with 2-course lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.

    Is Schönbrunn Palace Vienna Ticket with 2-course lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Schönbrunn Palace Vienna Ticket with 2-course lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Schönbrunn Palace Vienna Ticket with 2-course lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Schönbrunn Palace Vienna Ticket with 2-course lunch?

    +

    Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Schönbrunn Palace Vienna Ticket with 2-course lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Vienna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Best of Vienna : Historic Center Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Vienna?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Vienna?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Schönbrunn Palace Vienna Ticket with 2-course lunch?

    +

    Included: Vegetarian lunch available upon request; 60-minute self-guided tour with an Audio Guide; 2-course lunch including Wiener Schnitzel and apple strudel; and Admission to Schönbrunn Palace. Not included: Drinks during lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
