5,000 m² palace park: Shielded from the surrounding streets by buildings and accessible only through the palace, it forms a green, idyllic oasis in the heart of the city.

Elegant and refined, with the warmth of crafted wood, these two rooms provide the perfect extension to the adjoining Winter Garden or the Crown Prince Rudolf Hall. The domed ceiling, the twisted column, and the elaborate wood paneling give the loggia an air of excellence despite its small size.

The largest interconnected ensemble of the palace: the Winter Garden, with its high glass roof, forms a striking contrast to the Old Restaurant with its romantic landscape paintings and the Music Salon adorned with stucco and tapestries.

The Crown Prince Rudolf Hall, decorated in white and gold, exudes the cool elegance of classicism. Next to it are the ochre-colored Emperor’s Hall and the Idomeneo Hall with its sienna-red marble walls.

In the north wing of the palace lies the Maria Theresia Hall, featuring white and gold Empire-style stoves, valuable silk tapestries with antique motifs, and an elegant parquet floor. The Gluck Gallery provides a fitting entrance to it.

The center of the palace: remarkable for its oval shape, impressive height, excellent acoustics, and magnificent décor featuring marble pilasters, crystal chandeliers, and a relief frieze by Henrici. Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Richard Strauss paid literary and musical tribute to Palais Auersperg in Der Rosenkavalier, commemorated in the naming of the Festival Hall.
