You're standing at Schönbrunn Palace, the summer residence of the Habsburgs, in Vienna's Hietzing district. Look at that façade. The warm yellow is known as Schönbrunn yellow. It was painted between 1817 and 1819, and it became a trademark of Austria-Hungary, copied on railway stations and government buildings across the empire.
