Palace Comparison

The Schonbrunn palace in Vienna was a summer palace that gave the impression that it was supposed to be a get away but in all reality it was just another cage for Sisi and another meeting place for Franz Joseph. Sisi only had three small rooms in this palace all of which were small. The Hofburg palace which sat in Viennas center was much more geared towards Sisi. She had multiple large rooms all of which held things that she enjoyed. In this palace Sisi had much more privacy and she had total control over her domain, in fact for her husband to see her he had to ring a doorbell. The Kew garden in London had a totally different feel. It was much more informal and geared towards family life than the other two palaces in Vienna. You could tell that its sole purpose was to get away and enjoy time with family.
