We arrived at Belvedere unprepared and weren't aware that tickets were sold for specific time slots. There was a fairly long line of people at the ticket counter, and a man had just come out and told his family that he hadn’t been able to get tickets for Upper Belvedere (for a specific time slot, I think), so he had opted for tickets to Lower Belvedere instead. I then checked online and, within a few minutes, managed to get tickets for Upper Belvedere for an earlier time slot—one that was already sold out at the ticket counter. Well done!

Discover the Upper or Lower Belvedere with a ticket option of your choice and skip the line for a seamless experience.

Choose Upper Belvedere and discover a range of artistic masterpieces, from Gustav Klimt's The Kiss to pieces by Van Gogh and Egon Schiele.

Soak in the grandeur of the building's Baroque architecture and admire the 430 artworks spanning 800 years of art history.

Fun fact: The Lower Belvedere also had an orangery that wasn't only for cultivating oranges but also an entertainment space.

My museum ticket was for 11:00 a.m. I was able to enjoy a wonderful breakfast—good value and great quality. I took a stroll through the garden before it got too hot and discovered a magical place with works I wasn’t familiar with, aside from Klimt. Well done!

Four of us went to the Upper Belvedere Palace. We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation, but we had to wait half an hour to be let in. The interior was quite beautiful; the "Kiss" painting and the portrait of Napoleon were especially magnificent.

Tour of the museum was very nice, tour guide was professional and shared good/important facts not only about the place/grounds but also about its history and the paintings in the museum themselves, tour lasted about 1 1/2 hours and would have been nice if it was a bit longer. Would recommend it to first time visitors.

It was amazing to see The Kiss! It was definitely a dream, and I loved that it wasn't too crowded, we got to take cute photos in front of it (I was scared it would be packed with people and we would hardly be even to come close)

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.
