Schönbrunn Palace, Inside

Schönbrunn Palace is what I would call the Mc Mansion of palaces. There where a lot of rooms in the palace but I thought only two of them seemed impressive, the chapel, which most visitors skipped, and the ballroom. The first two pictures are of the chapel, and the third and fourth picture are of the ball room. The last picture represented pretty much what all the other rooms in the palace looked like. It was just room, after room, after room of selfies hanging on the walls. What I found surprising was the palace was packed with people. I had to wait two hours to get into the palace and there was one continuous long line thru the entire palace and everyone was standing around looking at the selfies on the wall and listening to a prerecorded description of the selfies or listening to their tour guild. I blitzed thru this palace. Meanwhile, across the street was a technology museum that I really liked and it had no line and only a hand full of high school kids who where bored out of their minds and playing on their phone. I would like to think everyone else has a poor taste in museums, but I am pretty sure all the high school kids in the technology museum would disagree with me. I have also come to the conclusion, if you like selfies, you would like Vienna.Read more
