Hello traveller!
We are now in the midst of a digital world. Social media is a digital platform that facilitates our desire to share tell stories and collect memories. Of course, this should be done in a positive way. Photos and videos are no longer just kept inside the family or the home.
While there are still many people who print out their holiday photos or keep their video footage for personal, there are more people out there who publish their photos and videos for other people outside their homes. There is no need to feel insecure if you are one of those people who don’t publish your personal documentation. Everyone has the right to have their own preferences based on their values.
Since there is a medium to publish photos and/or videos for a wider audience, the need to have good quality photos and videos has increased. One way to improve the results of photos and videos is to choose an interesting, beautiful, and catchy background. Remember, this is just one way!
Of course, if coupled or supported with other factors, the results of photos and videos can be even better.
Schönbrunn Palace and its gardens are a great location for taking pictures and videos. If you know where to find these magical spots, you can realise your desire to get good photos and videos.
Are the Visitor Allowed to Take Pictures or Videos?
The answer is yes!
However, there is regulation about it. So, visitors are allowed to take pictures and/or film during the opening hours. However, we should realise that we cannot do photography and filming in every places. Pay attention to the signs and conditions over there.
One more thing to note in taking photos and videos on location is that it is not allowed to sell the results for commercial purposes. For professional, commercial, or even wedding purposes, you need to contact and ask permission from the authorities first.
Another thing is that we should not use flash, tripod, or selfie sticks. Therefore, we have to be smart at choosing places and finding light to improve the quality of the photos.
Best Photo Spots Around Schönbrunn Palace
Do you want to know the best photo spots around Schönbrunn Palace?
Main entrance as the first photo spots around Schönbrunn Palace
If you come here through the main gate, this is the first place you can take a photo. The gate, the long road or parade court, the two fountains, and the yellow palace building make for a beautiful background for your picture. This is my favourite spot and I think it is the best photo spot.
To the left of the palace building is a little park. This place might not be full of tourists as any other places around Schönbrunn Palace.
The garden
Behind the palace, you will see a beautiful garden. There are locations that I found beautiful and would like to recommend to you, as follows:
- Schönbrunn Palace balcony
- Great Parterre
- Maze
- Obelisk fountain
- Najaden fountain
- Kammer gardens
- Palm house
- Japanese garden
Other locations
The second best photo spot is around the Neptune fountain. Behind it is a hill where just above the hill is Gloriette.
Then, climb the stairs on the side of the fountain and stand behind the Neptune fountain. There is a hollow section where you can peer out and photograph the gardens and palace from a distance. Trust me, it’s very beautiful!
Next, go up the hill to Gloriette. Take a photo here with the palace, the garden as well as the city of Vienna in the background.
Travelling: Schönbrunn Palace.
Do not forget to charge the battery of your camera or smartphone. Remember to calculate your visit time to the palace and surroundings as well as your photography time.
It is possible that at certain spots there may be queues of people or perhaps crowds of tourists. Just be patient and once you get your turn, use it wisely and efficiently. To avoid the crowds, you should come as early as possible.
Let me know if you successfully manage to take pictures or videos at those places above!
Happy travelling,
