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.
