The Royal Garden of the Schönbrunn Palace

<b>I have visited these royal gardens in Vienna a couple of times now, but each time it's striking, just how beautiful they are. </b>I never got the chance to take some images during sunset, so I very much enjoyed being able to do it, during our latest trip to Vienna.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What I most love about them, is that even though It's a frequented tourist spot, there are so many places where you can escape to and simply enjoy the place to yourself. </b>If you manage to come during the golden hour, as I did, then it will be even easier.</div>
