When approaching Vienna International Airport from the west, and if you are lucky, you will be able to peer down on the Summer Palace, otherwise known as Schoenbrunn. This magnificent historic property is located just outside central Vienna. It is a great spot for a family stroll, jogging, and exploring a well preserved formal garden. Designed around 1695 by Jean Trehet, a pupil of Andre Le Notre, and developed further during Maria Theresa's era, it serves as a living example of the formal gardens of Europe before they were widely transformed to the English Landscape style. Especially remarkable is the combining of modern and traditional as is illustrated by the stainless steel viewing structure set into the formal privy gardens.
