The site and the visit itself were excellently satisfying, but the management of the entrances, and especially the return from the restaurant, were truly problematic. In fact, no one warns on the site that by entering the restaurant to have lunch you cannot return to the museum and not even the help of the restaurant manager was managing to resolve the matter. I had to protest quite a bit, but the staff at the entrance were not completely understanding, despite the evidence being all in my favor.

We loved the eclectic exhibitions. We didn't like that there was no noticeable information on the layout; the "lower" and "upper" refer not to the levels of the same building but to two different edifices separated by a large garden.

We loved all the artwork we saw, especially that of Gustav Klimt. The only negative thing about the experience was that to be sure we beat the lines, we arrived at 8:30 am for our 9:15 entry. The trouble was that the doors didn't open until 9:00 am, which meant we had to stand outside in the bitter cold for 30 minutes.

The reservation slot was flexible enough to tolerate a 15 Min delay despite information provided scaring us telling that a delay was considered like a no show and no refund was possibile!

Your experience

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.
