The first location we chose was an excellent choice, as it is a Baroque palace and complex in a beautiful setting; its history makes it a landmark in the Viennese capital. We didn’t have to wait long to go in, and admission was very quick—no lines. The admission price is reasonable and cheaper than at the ticket window (where you have to wait in line). The museum houses paintings by famous artists, so visitors are ready to admire them and enjoy the galleries, which are magnificent in their own right, filled with ornate decor—especially the colorful marble. There are original contemporary art pieces and compositions that, along with the current temporary exhibition dedicated to Johann Baptist Lampi (featuring paintings such as *Venus*), really caught my attention. Overall, the visit was thoroughly satisfying.

Belvedere Palace was one of my favorite places to visit in Vienna. The palace is absolutely beautiful, and the gardens are lovely, especially on a sunny day. The art collection is also impressive, with Klimt’s “The Kiss” being the highlight. It can get quite busy, but the atmosphere is still great and there is plenty to see. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Vienna!

I enjoyed the background on the artist's lives which made my ability to appreciate the artwork itself improved. Additionally, since some of the paintings selected by the guide aren't the most popular ones I didn't have to wait for unobstructed views of the paintings.

The wonderful paintings and rooms had a particularly profound effect on me. I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes. I was especially moved by Schiele’s works and the painting of the two men bathing in Warnemünde, since I’m from Rostock :))

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Belvedere Palace is also the site of the Austrian State Treaty. Consisting of two palaces, the Upper and Lower Belvedere, and extensive gardens the unique complex is one of the world's most supreme specimens of a Baroque architectural ensemble.

The Upper Belvedere

For an artistic retreat, the Upper Belvedere is the perfect getaway! The Upper Belvedere is one of the most prominent museums across the globe, with famous art collections dating back to the Middle Ages. Highlights include the world's largest collection of Gustav Klimt paintings (including The Kiss and Judith), famous works from the periods of Austrian Baroque, French Impressionism, Viennese Biedermeier, and from Vienna around 1900. You can also admire works by Austrian artists like Rueland Frueauf the Elder, Elena Luksch-Makowsky, and Helene Funke, apart from international artists like Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Auguste Rodin.

The Lower Belvedere

Calling all history lovers, the Lower Belvedere is a treasure trove that will take you back in time! Located in Vienna, the majestic Lower Belvedere Palace is a magnificent 18th-century structure that now serves as an exhibition center. Focusing on Austrian artists within an international context and showcasing pivotal works of Western art history, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was originally built for the diplomat and collector Prince Eugene of Savoy to admire his exceptional Baroque architecture collection. Opt for the direct entry ticket to either Upper or Lower Belvedere Palace, to save time and choose what you'd like to see.
