Schonbrunn Palace is the former imperial summer residence of the Habsburgs, a 1,441-room baroque estate on Vienna's western edge with vast formal gardens, a Gloriette, and one of the world's oldest zoos. Timed-entry tours move through the state rooms on a strict schedule, and large bags and suitcases are not permitted inside the palace interiors. The site has limited cloakroom capacity aimed at coats rather than luggage, so arriving with cases from the airport or a train is impractical. The grounds are extensive, making it tiring to tour with anything heavy. Storage partners near the Schonbrunn U4 metro stop and along Mariahilfer Strasse let you leave bags first, then walk the gardens, tour the apartments, and climb to the Gloriette unburdened.
