How to Get to Schloss Hetzendorf #

Take Vienna’s tram line 62 or 63 to the Hetzendorf stop, or the S-Bahn to Wien Meidling and a short bus/tram hop; the palace is in the 23rd district (Liesing) and is walkable from local transit stops.

Tips for Visiting Schloss Hetzendorf #

  • The palace grounds are adjacent to populated Vienna districts-combine a visit with a tram ride and a stop at a local café for a Sachertorte substitute.
  • If interested in the building's fashion-school function, check term times-parts of the complex house classes and are not open to the public.
  • Photograph the exterior façades in the late afternoon-the light softens the ochre plaster and brings out stucco details.
