Bratislava Castle stands on a site that has been fortified for thousands of years. Originally a defensive fortress, it was rebuilt into a Renaissance-Gothic palace in the 15th century. It acquired its characteristic four-tower shape when it was the magnificent residence of Ferdinand I of Habsburg. Interestingly, the castle actually has only one tower. This is the 13th century Crown Tower, which once housed the crown jewels. Today you can see a replica of them here. The other three towers were added later. Inside the castle there is an exposition of the Slovak National Museum. The original interior has not been preserved because the castle burned down in 1811. It was repaired in 1953. The castle offers a beautiful view of the Alps and the Carpathians. From the terraces you can see the Danube and the Austro-Hungarian border. Legend has it that an underground road leads from here to Vienna.
The luxurious Schönbrunn Palace is known as the 'Versailles of Vienna'. Built in the 1600s, the 1,441-room complex has become a major tourist attraction in Vienna. For many years the Habsburgs lived here and the Austrian emperors were born in the palace. The palace itself is a huge Baroque structure with a symmetrical main building with hundreds of windows and sculptures on the roof. Inside there are fully furnished rooms in the original style, which you can see during the tour and also get an idea of how the Austrian royal family lived. Throughout the complex there are 1,441 rooms with rich and luxurious decoration. Here you'll find the Hall of Mirrors, where little Mozart gave a concert in the presence of Maria Theresa, Empress Sissi's salon, Franz Joseph I's room and much more.
