Our Local Experts say:

We have highlighted the palaces in Vienna you HAVE to see in the TOP ATTRACTIONS section, however, there is many more that are equally impressive and well worth seeing. So check out the following venues here in case you have time to spare...

Vienna is full with palaces, but be aware that here the French word "Palais" is used much more widely than the literal English  equivalent "Palace" - in English it would probably be called "mansion" or "town house" - and Vienna is full with them. So the ones we have listed here are the larger versions of palaces you would expect.
