A hidden gem in Vienna. - I really enjoyed this visit as you don't often see so many carriages in one place. They were beautiful and looked alive. The relaxing environment was also an extra bonus. There weren't that many people around at noon. For us, this is excellent.

Beautiful carriages - Beautiful museum situated within the grounds of Schonbrunn Palace. Small and doesn’t take too long to look around but definitely worth a look, especially if you have the Vienna pass because it’s included on it. It has some beautiful carriages from all different eras of Vienna. Some rather eerie all in black as funeral carriages; and some very grand and sparkly. Also houses some collections of uniforms and dresses.

A gem of a museum - The total range of displays. Well worth while spending an hr or more after walking the gardens just to get an idea of the grandeur of the inhabitants of the castle.I was surprised at the number of carriages on display,from the coronation coach to tha huge sombre funeral carriage.

Well worth visiting. - Well worth visiting. Very interesting. We went late afternoon and it was not at all crowded. Allow an hour and a half. Beautiful carriages actually used by the Austrian Royal Family. Marvel at the skill of the carriage makers. Some very interesting and informative videos playing too.

Surprisingly interesting museum - Interestingly well designed exhibition of different carriages. So be sure to use good explanations in the audio guides. The only thing missing was the common thread. Some of the exhibits looked set up without meaning. Otherwise, the Wagenburg is definitely worth it.

Valid - Museum next to the imperial palace with a decent collection of carriages and ceremonial dresses. Seeing them up close shows the power of an empire.
